About the Excel-G Line

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want suspension performance returned to factory intent. This strut is manufactured on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original ride control rather than alter it. For Subaru Impreza front suspension service, part number 334301 provides a direct replacement option focused on stability, stopping control, lane-change response, and predictable handling.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the front left corner
• Reduced steering response during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration from aging strut components
• Alignment drift related to flex in worn strut hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the 2002-2003 Subaru Impreza front left position. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5361, to reduce noise and vibration, and using a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Part number 334301 has a compressed length of 14.57, extended length of 20.67, stroke length of 6.1, and a 14X1.50 upper mount type.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built on the same production lines used for original equipment applications. The design uses OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration to support consistent suspension performance on the Subaru Impreza.
