Bring the ride back to how the factory intended with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 331051, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper that installs in the front left position of the 2002-2004 Honda CR-V. Built on the same KYB OE assembly lines as its OEM struts and calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it, the Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and is a professional-technician favorite.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction using the same quality components KYB puts in its global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled damping valves help manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body: thick strut bodies and brackets minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
Designed to help restore the control and handling of your Honda CR-V and keep electronic safety systems performing as intended. To reduce noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5403); protect the unit from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB104).
