Restore the designed ride control and handling of your 1996-2001 Acura RL with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 341434). This is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit built to KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) standard, calibrated to help return your Acura RL to its original, designed damping performance rather than change it. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed application.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: made on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components, the same approach found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: tuned to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and bracket: engineered to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
Specs: stroke length 4.45 in, compressed length 15.35 in, extended length 19.8 in, upper mount type 10x1.25, with an internal rebound bumper. This strut does not include a dust cover or bump stop. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (SM5289) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (SB108). Country of origin: Japan.
Sold individually (quantity per application: 1); for balanced handling, replacing both sides on the same axle as a matched pair is recommended best practice.
