Keep steering, stability, and handling in check with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 331047, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube front-left strut built to restore your vehicle's originally designed ride control. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2006 Honda Element, helping bring back the designed control and handling KYB engineered into the Excel-G line.
Assembled on the same OE lines as KYB's factory production, the Excel-G carries the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and is calibrated to restore original performance, not change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Thick strut bodies and brackets: among the strongest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5403) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB104). The Excel-G also helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
