KYB Excel-G Rear Strut for Subaru Legacy

The KYB Excel-G 340026 is a rear suspension strut for 2010-2012 Subaru Legacy models. Built to restore original ride control and handling, it is a direct-fit OE-style replacement for drivers addressing worn suspension performance on the Subaru Legacy.

Key Features

• KYB Excel-G line calibrated to restore original suspension response
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design for consistent damping
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves for tire contact and steering response
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Made in the USA
• R-stop rebound control feature included

Product Line Details

Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-style ride control rather than a changed suspension feel. KYB manufactures this line on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment production, using OE-quality components and calibration focused on restoring designed performance. Part number 340026 follows that approach for the rear suspension on the Subaru Legacy.

Detailed Description

Compatible with 2010-2012 Subaru Legacy rear suspension applications, KYB 340026 is engineered to bring back stable braking, lane-change response, and predictable body control. The compressed length, extended length, and stroke are matched for the application, while the twin-tube gas-charged construction and precision valving help maintain consistent damping over everyday driving conditions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72690 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Reduced rear-end stability during braking or cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Loose or delayed steering response from suspension wear
• Noise or fluid leakage from an aging rear strut

Installation Notes

Fits 2010-2012 Subaru Legacy, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify all mounting points, alignment settings, and related suspension components before returning the vehicle to service. Part number 340026 is intended for the rear position only on the listed Subaru Legacy applications.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is built to OE-quality standards for restoring original suspension behavior. The design includes a triple-lip seal, application-specific valving, and a rigid strut body to support consistent performance in daily driving.
