Restore the designed control and handling of your Honda HR-V with the KYB Suspension Strut (MPN 3340143), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G unit. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the FRONT LEFT position on the 2016-2022 Honda HR-V, calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it — the philosophy behind KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Excel-G design: Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction built on KYB's OE assembly lines using OE-quality components.
- Triple lip fluid seal: Helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: Hand assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body: KYB's thick strut bodies and brackets help minimize flex to maintain correct alignment.
Ride comfort matters, but restoring ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change responsiveness and handling is critical — and electronic safety systems depend on the suspension operating as the manufacturer intended. The Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Sold individually.
