Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to restore original suspension performance rather than alter it. On the Subaru Outback, that means more consistent rear control during braking, lane changes, and uneven-road driving. The 341443 strut uses in-house calibrated damping to help the suspension work as the vehicle manufacturer intended, which also supports the operation of electronic safety systems that depend on proper suspension, brake, and tire behavior.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71113 for the same application. It also cross-references Subaru 20365AG03A and 20365AG13A for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced stability during braking or cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control
• Noisy or loose-feeling rear suspension operation
• Loss of factory ride control on a Subaru Outback

Installation Notes
