KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Rear Right SUBARU Forester 2003-05

This KYB Excel-G rear right shock absorber uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design to help bring your 2003-2005 Subaru Forester's handling back to factory specifications. While ride comfort is important, restoring your vehicle's ride control, stability, and responsiveness is critical for safe driving. KYB manufactures these shocks on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment, earning them the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

The primary goal of the Excel-G line is to restore your vehicle's original designed performance, not to change it. This means you can expect a familiar feel and predictable handling that matches what your Forester had when it was new. This shock absorber is calibrated to work with your vehicle's suspension to improve stability and lane change responsiveness.

When replacing your shocks or struts, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, like part number SM5422, to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration. This ensures you get the most out of your new suspension components.
