What is the OEA classification for KYB shocks?

OEA stands for Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. This means the KYB Excel-G shocks are manufactured to the same standards and on the same assembly lines as the original equipment shocks supplied to vehicle manufacturers.

What is the purpose of a nitrogen gas charge in this shock?

The nitrogen gas charge helps prevent fluid aeration, which can lead to a loss of damping performance, especially under demanding conditions. It helps maintain consistent performance and ride control.

Do I need to purchase a strut boot separately?

Yes, the KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101) is sold separately. It is recommended to protect your new shock absorber from dirt, debris, and road salt to help ensure its longevity.

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G rear left shock absorber, part number 335021, is built using the same OE quality components and assembly lines as the shocks KYB supplies to Subaru for new vehicles. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design is calibrated to precisely restore your 1996-1999 Subaru Legacy's original ride control, stability, and handling capabilities. It’s designed to bring your vehicle back to its factory-designed performance, not to change it.

Restoring proper ride control is critical for your vehicle's stability and responsiveness, especially during lane changes and braking. The Excel-G series is KYB's Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) classification, meaning it's made to meet the exact specifications of your Subaru's original equipment. This makes it a popular choice for professional technicians looking to provide a reliable, factory-like ride.

To ensure the longevity of your new shock absorber, consider protecting it from dirt, debris, and road salt with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB101.
