Restore the ride control, stability, and handling of your 1987-1990 Acura Legend with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 341116), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube rear strut built to bring damping back to the vehicle's original specification. KYB is a leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is made on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — a classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- OE-tuned damping: Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Strong strut body: Thick strut bodies and brackets minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
- Safety-system support: Helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer designed, since they depend on suspension, brakes, and tires working together.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5059), and protecting the new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB107). #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars.
