Dial in your own ride control with the KYB AGX Suspension Strut 741049, a damping-rate-adjustable front strut that lets you tune corner-by-corner performance without special tools. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the front position on the 2001-2003 Acura CL, 1999-2003 Acura TL, and 1998-2002 Honda Accord.
- Manually adjustable damping: Change ride firmness externally without lifting the vehicle or removing the tires; depending on the application the AGX uses an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, and one adjustment increases both rebound and compression damping.
- Up to 125% more damping force: Enthusiasts can increase individual corner damping rates well beyond the vehicle's OEM design for more demanding street or track conditions.
- Precision valving: Multi-stage hydraulic valves cover a broad performance range, while velocity-sensitive damping valves react to driving conditions to help maintain tire contact and vehicle control.
- Built to last: A seamless working cylinder paired with a Teflon-coated piston band provides a positive seal and longer life; engineered to help vehicles with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS.
To reduce noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5058), and a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108) helps protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
