KYB Suspension Strut P/N:331049
KYB 741049 front suspension strut assembly for the 1998-2002 Honda Accord and other vehicles lets you adjust damping by hand. Individual corner damping rates can be raised up to 125% above the vehicle's OEM design, on the street or at the track.
A bouncy ride, oily fluid on the strut body or nose-dive under braking can mean a worn strut. These signs alone do not prove the strut is at fault; out-of-balance tires, for one, can give a similar ride complaint. This listing is one strut, and both fronts are normally replaced together.
It fits the 1998-2002 Honda Accord, the 1999-2003 Acura TL and the 2001-2003 Acura CL, with two going on the front of each car.
