KYB 341403 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Strut for Subaru Tribeca

The KYB Excel-G 341403 is a rear suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select Subaru Tribeca applications. It is an OE-style replacement for the 2006-2014 Subaru B9 Tribeca and Tribeca rear suspension, with calibration focused on factory handling characteristics.

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components to return suspension performance to factory intent rather than changing it. For Subaru Tribeca rear applications, this strut is designed to support consistent ride control, braking stability, lane-change response, and handling balance. The 341403 part number is also cross-referenced to Monroe Shocks & Struts 71148 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Loose or unstable handling over uneven roads
• Reduced tire contact and inconsistent road feel
• Oil or gas leakage from a worn rear strut
• Alignment drift caused by flex in worn suspension components

Installation Notes

Compatible with 2008-2014 Subaru Tribeca, rear, and 2006-2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify upper mount thread size and lower mount style before installation. This rear strut uses a special lower mount type and a 12x1.25 upper mount specification.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built to OE-quality standards for restoring original suspension performance. The 341403 is engineered for factory-style control on Subaru Tribeca rear applications.
