Product Details

The KYB Strut-Plus line is built around KYB’s OE supplier experience and focuses on restoring the original handling balance of the vehicle. The SR4484 uses a KYB Strut with precision damping control and a matched coil spring selected for the Subaru Forester’s corner weights and suspension requirements. For drivers searching for a rear strut assembly for 2009-2013 Subaru Forester models, or a rear suspension strut and coil spring assembly for 2011-2013 Subaru Forester, this part provides a direct replacement format that supports ride height and steering stability.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172695) for the same application.

Common Issues This Assembly Can Address

• Rear suspension sag or reduced ride height
• Excessive bouncing or poor damping control
• Uneven rear stance after strut wear
• Reduced handling stability over rough roads
• Noise or looseness associated with worn rear strut components

Installation Notes

Install according to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions. This rear assembly is pre-assembled, which helps streamline replacement compared with rebuilding a strut and spring separately. Verify rear-position fitment for your Subaru Forester before installation and confirm that the suspension is serviced as a complete assembly where required.
