Restore the front-left corner of your Acura's ride control with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 3340185, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper that drops into the front left position of the 2013-2015 Acura ILX. KYB's Excel-G line is built to bring back a vehicle's original, designed damping — control, stability, stopping, lane-change response and handling — rather than change it, which is why KYB calls it OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: nitrogen gas-charged construction built with the same OE-quality components KYB supplies to its global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, application-specific damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body: thick strut bodies and brackets that minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
The Excel-G helps restore the designed control and handling of your Acura ILX and helps keep electronic safety systems performing as intended, since they depend on the suspension, brakes and tires. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5817), and you can protect the new strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). Made in USA.
