Restore the designed control and handling of your Honda Accord with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341498, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube damper that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front-left position on the 1994-1997 Honda Accord. KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components — calibrated to restore original, designed performance, not change it, which earned it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce 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.
- Strong, thick strut body and bracket: among the thickest in the industry, minimizing flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
- Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep them performing as designed by maintaining intended suspension operation.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5514), and you can protect your new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108).
