KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5244, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB102, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify upper mount thread specification 14X1.50 and confirm compressed length 16.34, extended length 23.82, and stroke length 7.48 before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production. The 334307 uses OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration to support factory-level suspension performance on the Subaru Impreza.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KYB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44623894675637,"sku":"BFJG-334307","price":111.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/KY_334307_Fro.jpg?v=1775072110","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/kyb-334307-suspension-strut","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
