Detailed Description
KYB 335021 is engineered for the rear left position on 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 Subaru Legacy models. It is designed to restore the vehicle’s original suspension response, helping bring back predictable ride control, braking stability, and steering feel. The twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged construction and calibrated damping are intended to match factory performance characteristics for the Subaru Legacy platform.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71415 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
- Rear suspension noise caused by worn strut internals
- Uneven tire contact from weak or inconsistent damping
- Reduced stability during lane changes and cornering
- Loss of factory ride feel on a Subaru Legacy rear left strut
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1996-1999 Subaru Legacy, rear left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5244, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB101, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.
Quality Assurance
KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is built to OE-quality standards on KYB production lines. The design uses application-specific damping and sealing components to support consistent suspension performance on the Subaru Legacy platform.
