Product Details

When you're working on a 2009 or 2010 Subaru Forester, getting the ride control back to how it was when it left the factory is the main goal. This KYB Excel-G front left shock absorber is built to do just that. It's designed to restore your Forester's original capabilities, focusing on stability, stopping, and how it handles lane changes.

KYB is a major supplier of shocks and struts to car manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is made on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts. This means it's calibrated to bring back the original performance, not change it. The twin-tube design is charged with nitrogen gas, and it includes all the same quality components found in KYB's original equipment parts. Technicians often choose this part because it's a reliable way to get the vehicle's suspension back to its designed performance level.

The strut bodies and brackets on this KYB shock are notably strong and thick, which helps minimize flex. This is important because it helps maintain proper wheel alignment, even in varied driving conditions.
