KYB 2018 Subaru Outback Base Front Left Shocks & Struts Excel-G

The strut body and brackets on this KYB Excel-G shock and strut are among the strongest and thickest available. This well-built construction helps maintain proper vehicle alignment, which is critical for stable handling and responsive steering, especially during lane changes or braking. KYB builds these units on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment, meaning they are calibrated to bring your Subaru Outback back to its designed performance capabilities, not to alter them.

This focus on restoring original ride control, stability, and stopping power is why KYB classifies the Excel-G line as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket). It’s a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design that includes every quality component found in KYB's original equipment parts. Professional technicians often choose this part because it reliably brings the vehicle's handling back to how it was when it left the factory.
