KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Subaru Forester

The KYB Excel-G 339384 is a front left suspension strut for 2011-2013 Subaru Forester models. Built to restore original ride control, steering response, and stability, it is a direct OE-style replacement for drivers addressing worn suspension performance on a Subaru Forester front left application.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production and uses OE-quality components to restore factory-designed performance rather than change it. For Subaru Forester owners, part number 339384 is engineered to bring back predictable ride control, lane-change responsiveness, and braking stability while supporting the suspension geometry the vehicle was designed to maintain. This part cross-references Subaru 20310SC110 and 20310SC111 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or float after bumps
• Reduced steering precision and slower response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front left strut
• Loss of stability during braking and lane changes

Installation Notes

Fits 2011-2013 Subaru Forester, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5664, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Verify alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is calibrated to restore original vehicle performance using OE-quality components and vehicle-specific damping control. Part number 339384 is designed for consistent suspension operation on the Subaru Forester platform and supports the proper function of electronic safety systems that depend on suspension, brakes, and tires working as intended.
