KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Front Right SUBARU Impreza (AWD) 2004 SUBARU Impreza Outback 2004

If you're working on your 2004 Subaru Impreza, especially an AWD model or the Outback variant, and need to replace a front right shock, this KYB Excel-G unit is built to bring your vehicle's suspension back to its original factory performance. The main job of a shock absorber is to control the spring's movement, which is crucial for keeping your tires firmly on the road for better stability, handling, and braking. Restoring this control is key to a safe and comfortable ride.

KYB is a major supplier of original equipment shocks and struts to car manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts. This means the shock is calibrated to match your Impreza's original factory specifications, aiming to restore its intended ride control and handling rather than altering it. It's a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, a common and reliable setup that professional technicians often prefer for its ability to bring back that factory-fresh feel.

When installing new struts, it's a good idea to consider protecting them from dirt and road debris. A KYB Strut Boot, part number SB103, can help extend the life of your new shock absorber.
