Keep the rear suspension composed and your tires planted with the KYB Suspension Strut 341261, a direct-fit rear strut for the 1997-2001 Honda CR-V. It combines shock damping with a structural suspension member, controlling spring oscillation so the rear ride height and wheel motion stay under control over bumps and dips.
- Position: Rear strut for the listed application.
- Function: Dampens spring movement and helps locate the rear wheel, working to keep the tire in consistent contact with the road.
- Direct-fit application: Cataloged as a replacement for the 1997-2001 Honda CR-V.
Worn struts often show up as excessive bouncing after bumps, a floaty or unsettled rear end, nose-dive under braking, uneven tire wear, or visible fluid leaking from the strut body. If a failed rear strut is the cause of those symptoms on your CR-V, this replaces it. Struts install as left/right pairs — replace both rear sides together for balanced, even damping. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
