Product Line Overview

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE-style replacement line for drivers who want suspension performance returned to factory intent rather than changed. As an OE supplier to new vehicle manufacturers, KYB builds Excel-G on the same assembly lines and with the same quality standards used in its original equipment products. For Subaru Legacy applications, the 335020 is engineered to support stable braking, lane-change response, and consistent handling.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71414 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Reduced body control during cornering or lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Suspension noise or fluid leakage from an aging strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1996-1999 Subaru Legacy, rear right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5245, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB101, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G on OE production lines using OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration. The design includes a triple-lip fluid seal and a reinforced strut body and bracket structure to support consistent suspension performance in daily driving conditions.
