Put confident, controlled damping back under the rear of your car with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341436, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit built to restore original ride control. It's a rear-position strut for the 1996-1998 Acura TL — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
KYB calls the Excel-G OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket): it's made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components and calibrated to restore the vehicle's originally designed performance, not change it.
- Restores designed control: helps bring back the control and handling engineered into your Acura TL.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut body: thick strut bodies and brackets minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
Because the suspension, brakes and tires must work as designed, the Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as intended. KYB recommends fresh strut mounts (part number SM5059) and a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB107) to reduce noise and vibration and protect your new struts.
