Help restore the designed control and handling of your Honda Element with the KYB Suspension Strut 331046, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G unit that installs as a direct-fit front-right replacement for the 2003-2006 Honda Element. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it, the Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Excel-G twin-tube design: nitrogen gas-charged and built with the same OE-quality components KYB's global OEM products include.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body and brackets: KYB's thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
Ride control, stability, stopping and lane-change responsiveness all depend on proper struts, and electronic safety systems rely on the suspension working as the manufacturer intended. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5403), and a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB104) helps protect the strut from dirt, debris and salt.
