Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your 2013-2018 Acura RDX with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 3340165, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut built for the front left corner. Excel-G is engineered to restore the vehicle's original capabilities — it's made on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and is calibrated to bring back the factory-designed performance, not change it, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Strong, thick body & brackets: KYB uses some of the strongest, thickest strut bodies and brackets in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Supports safety systems: helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed by keeping the suspension operating as the manufacturer intended.
The Excel-G is the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian SUVs and crossovers and is a preferred pick among professional technicians. Worn struts can show up as excess bounce, poor handling, or reduced stability — if the front left strut is the cause, this replaces it.
