KYB Excel-G Strut Front Left 1996-1998 Outback

Ride comfort matters, but restoring your vehicle’s ride control, stability, stopping ability, lane-change responsiveness, and handling is critical. The KYB Excel-G is engineered for one purpose: to return your vehicle to its original factory performance.

As one of the world’s leading suppliers to new vehicle manufacturers, KYB builds the Excel-G on the very same OE assembly lines, with the same quality components, and to the same exacting standards. That’s why Excel-G carries the distinction of OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).

Features:

• OE-Quality Performance – Restores the designed ride and handling characteristics, not alter them.

• Gas-Charged, Twin-Tube Design – Built with every quality component used in KYB’s global OEM products.

• Precision Valve Assembly – Hand-assembled rebound and compression valves in a pressurized clean room for consistent tire contact, steering response, and body control.

• Durability & Protection – Triple chrome-plated piston rod minimizes seal wear, while the multi-lip synthetic oil seal with wiper keeps fluid in and contaminants out.

• Strength & Rigidity – Features the thickest bodies and brackets in the industry, plus a sintered iron rod guide to maintain proper alignment.

• Seamless Construction – Extruded steel inner cylinders with a Teflon-banded piston ensure a positive seal, eliminating fluid bypass and maximizing control.
