KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341065
KYB Excel-G 341065 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, braking response, and handling. It is an OE-style replacement for Subaru applications and is made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components.
The Excel-G line is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics rather than change the way it drives. For Subaru owners looking for a direct replacement strut, 341065 supports consistent steering response and body control in everyday driving.
