Help restore the designed control and handling of your 1996-2001 Acura RL with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341435, a front-left gas strut built to help bring your car back toward its original ride and stability. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is made on the very same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance rather than change it — earning it KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products, and is the #1 recommended OE replacement choice for Asian cars.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement, helping keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5289) and protecting the new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108).
