Detailed Description

KYB 334462 is engineered for the Subaru Impreza front right suspension position and is part of the Excel-G line, which focuses on restoring the vehicle’s original ride control characteristics. This matters for braking stability, lane-change response, and predictable handling, especially when replacing a worn strut that has lost damping performance. The 2004 Subaru Impreza front right strut application is supported by KYB’s OE-oriented design approach and in-house valve calibration.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72421 and Subaru 20311FE020 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front right strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

For the 2004 Subaru Impreza front right, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing a new strut mount, part number SM5361, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB103, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE shock and strut supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is intended to restore factory-calibrated suspension performance for the Subaru Impreza rather than alter it.
