Restore the designed control and handling of your Honda CR-V with the KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut 341260, a direct-fit gas strut for the 1997-2001 Honda CR-V. Excel-G is built on KYB's OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original, designed performance rather than change it — earning KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Thick strut bodies and brackets: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
Because electronic safety systems depend on suspension, brakes and tires working as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5058), and you can protect the new struts from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108). Struts are best replaced as a matched pair for balanced handling.
