Restore the settled ride and confident handling of your Honda with the KYB Excel-G Gas Strut (P/N 341490), a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the rear position on the 1994-1997 Honda Accord. Rather than change how the car drives, the Excel-G is engineered to bring the suspension back to its original, designed performance — earning it KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- OE-line build: Made on the same KYB assembly lines with the same OE-quality components used in KYB's global OEM products, then calibrated to restore original control, stability, and handling.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Uses a triple-lip seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific valving: Hand-assembled, application-specific 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.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5059) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, and protecting the new strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB107). Struts are commonly replaced as a matched pair; order two for balanced ride control across the axle.
