Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s original-equipment replacement line, and part number 341063 follows that approach with a direct-fit suspension strut design for Subaru. It is engineered to restore factory ride characteristics rather than alter them, making it a practical choice for drivers who want predictable steering feel, stable lane changes, and consistent braking response. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71223) for the same application.

For Subaru owners searching for a front suspension strut replacement, KYB 341063 is built to match the vehicle’s original damping behavior and support the suspension, brakes, tires, and electronic safety systems working as intended. The Excel-G line is also known for OE-level construction and calibration, which makes it a common choice for restoring worn suspension performance on Subaru models.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll during lane changes and cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn strut damping

Installation Notes and Tips

For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with part number SM5362. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt, use KYB strut boot SB105. Verify mount style, compressed length, extended length, and stroke length before installation to confirm the correct Subaru suspension strut application.

Compatible With Subaru applications that use KYB Excel-G part number 341063. For fitment-specific Subaru suspension strut replacement searches, confirm the vehicle’s year, model, and position before ordering.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is calibrated to restore original performance characteristics for Subaru suspension systems.
