KYB 335055 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Subaru Tribeca

KYB Excel-G strut 335055 is a front left suspension strut for Subaru Tribeca and B9 Tribeca models. It is built to restore original ride control, steering response, and stability while maintaining the vehicle’s designed suspension behavior.

The Excel-G line is KYB’s OE-style replacement range, assembled on KYB production lines with OE-quality components and calibrated damping. For Subaru Tribeca owners looking for a direct replacement front left strut, part number 335055 follows the vehicle’s original performance targets rather than changing suspension feel.

Key Features

• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension strut design
• Vehicle-specific damping valves for controlled tire contact and body motion
• Triple-lip fluid seal to reduce oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket construction to help maintain alignment
• Internal rebound spring and anti-rollover spring design
• OE-style replacement choice for Asian SUVs and crossovers

Product Details

KYB Excel-G 335055 is engineered for the front left position on 2008-2014 Subaru Tribeca and 2006-2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca models. This suspension strut is designed to restore the vehicle’s original ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and handling balance. It also supports the operation of electronic safety systems by helping the suspension, brakes, and tires perform as the manufacturer intended.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72430 for the same application. It also aligns with Subaru OE references 20310XA05A and 20310XA07A. The KYB Excel-G 335055 is a practical replacement when the original front left strut has lost damping performance or shows signs of wear.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
• Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
• Nose dive, body roll, or unstable braking behavior
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Noise or handling changes associated with a worn front left strut

Installation Notes

Install on the front left position only. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify all mounting points, fasteners, and alignment settings after installation. The internal anti-rollover spring may make the extended length appear shorter during inspection.
