Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components to return suspension performance to original specifications rather than changing the vehicle’s character. Part number 334468 is engineered for the front right position on the 2006-2008 Subaru Forester and is a practical choice when replacing a worn strut that has affected ride quality, braking stability, or lane-change response. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72425 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

  • Excessive bouncing or oscillation after bumps
  • Loose steering feel or delayed response
  • Nose dive during braking
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
  • Reduced stability in turns or during lane changes

Installation Notes and Fitment

Fits 2006-2008 Subaru Forester, front right. This application is recommended for vehicles without self-leveling rear suspension. Verify mounting points, compressed length, extended length, and upper mount type before installation. For best results, replace struts in axle pairs when the opposite side shows similar wear, and inspect related suspension components, alignment settings, and tire condition after installation. A KYB strut boot, part number SB103, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built to restore original ride control using OE-quality components and vehicle-specific damping calibration. Part number 334468 is made in the USA and follows KYB’s OE-focused approach for the Subaru Forester front suspension.
