Keep steering response and body movement in check with the KYB Suspension Strut 341118, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G unit built to restore your vehicle's originally designed control and handling. It installs in the front left position as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-1999 Acura CL and 1990-1993 Honda Accord — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
KYB classifies the Excel-G as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): it is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5058), and protecting the new strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108).
