Help restore controlled, confident handling on your Honda Civic or Acura EL with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 331008, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut that installs in the front right position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2003 Acura EL and the 2001-2005 Honda Civic, calibrated to bring the suspension back to its original, designed performance rather than change it.
- OEA build: Made on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, earning the Excel-G its Original Equipment for the Aftermarket classification.
- Vehicle-specific valving: Hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong body and brackets: Thick strut bodies and brackets minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment, and the Excel-G helps keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5402), and you can protect the new strut from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB103).
