Bring back the factory ride and handling of your Acura or Honda with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 339261, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that installs in the front right position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2012 Acura RDX and 2007-2011 Honda CR-V (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged: nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design that includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip seal: a triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Rigid body: thick strut bodies and brackets minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
Helps restore designed control and handling and keeps electronic safety systems performing as intended. Made in the United States.
