Dial in your own ride control with the KYB AGX Suspension Strut 741012, a manually-adjustable rear strut that lets you set corner damping without special tools, quickly and as often as you want. It's a direct-fit replacement for the rear position on the 1997-1999 Acura CL and 1990-1997 Honda Accord — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. Enthusiasts can increase individual corner damping rates up to 125% over the vehicle's OEM design, making it a great solution for more demanding conditions that OE replacement parts can't handle.
- Adjustable, designed for enthusiasts: depending on application, the AGX uses an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot — both offer the same overall capability.
- Externally adjustable: set it without lifting the vehicle or removing the tires; one simple adjustment increases both rebound and compression damping.
- Velocity-sensitive valving: precision multi-stage hydraulic valves instantly react to driving conditions to help maintain tire contact and vehicle control on the street or track.
- Built to last: a seamless working cylinder matched with a Teflon-coated piston band provides a positive seal and longer life.
Engineered to help vehicles with electronic safety systems (ESC, ABS, etc.). KYB recommends fitting a Strut Boot (SB107) and new strut mounts (SM5059) to protect the strut and reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
