Product Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line focused on restoring the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than changing it. For Subaru Impreza rear suspension service, part number 341487 is engineered to return controlled ride quality, lane-change responsiveness, and braking stability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 72567) for the same application.

As a rear suspension strut for the Subaru Impreza, 341487 is a practical choice when the original unit is worn, leaking, or no longer controlling body movement properly. The Excel-G line is commonly selected by professional technicians for factory-style suspension repair.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation from worn rear struts
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping control
• Oil or gas leakage from a failing strut seal
• Loose or imprecise rear suspension feel on a Subaru Impreza

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2008-2011 Subaru Impreza, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify mount style and dimensions before installation: compressed length 11.14 in, extended length 17.08 in, stroke length 5.94 in, lower mount type E2 (12.4 x 55), and upper mount type 10 x 1.25. A KYB strut boot, part number SB107, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB manufactures Excel-G on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment supply, with OE-quality components and application-specific damping calibration. The design is intended to restore original suspension performance on the Subaru Impreza while maintaining proper control and alignment characteristics.
