Product Description

The KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut (Part No. 339386) is engineered to restore the ride comfort and handling precision of your Subaru XV Crosstrek (2013) or Subaru Forester (2014-2016) when the factory front left strut has begun to show signs of wear, sagging or leakage. Built with nitrogen-gas charged twin-tube architecture and precision valving, this unit aims to bring your vehicle back to near-factory suspension performance.

Ideal for owners who want to maintain their vehicle's original driving dynamics rather than switch to a performance-tuned suspension, this unit installs directly in the front left (driver-side) position, retaining factory geometry and ride-height behavior. Because the mounting hardware, coil spring and top mount are **not included**, it is recommended to inspect and replace those components if they are worn or damaged to ensure balanced handling. Always verify your vehicle's exact build - year, engine, drivetrain and trim - before ordering to ensure compatibility.
