KYB 334306 Suspension Strut - Rear Right

KYB Excel-G Rear Right Strut for Subaru Impreza

The KYB Excel-G 334306 is a suspension strut for the rear right position on 2002-2003 Subaru Impreza models. Built to restore original ride control and handling, it is a direct-fit OE-style replacement for drivers who want factory-correct suspension response.

As part of the KYB Excel-G line, this strut is calibrated to return the vehicle’s designed damping characteristics rather than alter them. It is a practical choice for Subaru Impreza rear right strut replacement when the goal is to recover stable braking, lane-change response, and consistent tire contact.

Detailed Description

The KYB Excel-G 334306 is engineered as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket replacement for Asian vehicles, including the Subaru Impreza. It is manufactured on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore the suspension’s original performance characteristics. For the 2002-2003 Subaru Impreza rear right position, this strut helps return predictable ride control, stability, and handling without changing the vehicle’s intended feel.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72162 and Gabriel G52073 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the rear right corner
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Loose or inconsistent handling on the Subaru Impreza
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise and vibration associated with aging strut components

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this strut according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the suspension strut and coil spring assembly. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount, part number SM5245, to reduce noise and vibration, and using a KYB strut boot, part number SB102, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Verify the 14X1.50 upper mount thread specification and confirm rear right fitment before installation.

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 334306 is designed to restore factory-style suspension performance for the Subaru Impreza while supporting proper operation of vehicle systems that depend on suspension, brakes, and tire contact.
