KYB 334471 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Subaru Impreza

The KYB Excel-G suspension strut is built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response for the 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza front left position.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G part number 334471 is an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) suspension strut for Subaru Impreza models from 2004 through 2007 in the front left position. It is engineered on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is intended to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior, including ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and handling balance. This makes it a direct-fit choice for Subaru Impreza owners looking for a front left strut replacement that follows factory performance targets.

The Excel-G line is commonly selected for import applications, including Subaru Impreza service work, because it focuses on restoring the suspension’s designed operation. The part number 334471 also aligns with Subaru OE reference 20311FE150 for this application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
• Loose or unstable steering feel during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn strut performance
• Noise or vibration associated with aging suspension components
• Loss of original ride control on a Subaru Impreza front left corner

Installation Notes

Install on 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza front left applications according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as directed by the vehicle manufacturer. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5361, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components. The design uses a triple-lip fluid seal and a reinforced strut body and bracket structure to support consistent operation and alignment retention in daily driving conditions.
