About the Strut-Plus Line

KYB Strut-Plus assemblies are built as complete front-end suspension units that pair a KYB strut with a matched coil spring. For Subaru Impreza applications, the goal is to restore ride height and handling balance using components selected for the vehicle’s original suspension geometry and load requirements. SR4688 is the front left assembly for this application.

Detailed Description

SR4688 is a direct-fit suspension strut and coil spring assembly for the front left position on 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza models. As an OE supplier, KYB engineers this assembly to restore the vehicle’s handling and control characteristics while helping maintain proper ride height. The included high carbon steel spring is developed around vehicle-specific attributes and corner weights, and the assembly includes a boot and internal rebound spring. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end sag or uneven ride height
• Excessive bounce or reduced damping control
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Worn strut and spring components on a Subaru Impreza
• Noise or instability from aging suspension parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza, front left. Confirm the vehicle’s trim and suspension configuration before ordering, and inspect related wear items such as mounts, bearings, and control arm components during service. Because this is a complete strut and spring assembly, it is suited to replacing the front left corner unit as a single suspension service part.

Quality Assurance
