Dial in your own ride control with the KYB AGX Suspension Strut 741061, a manually-adjustable rear strut that drops in for the 1995-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier and 1995-2005 Pontiac Sunfire (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). The AGX lets enthusiasts design their own damping performance without special tools — increasing individual corner damping rates up to 125% more than the vehicle's OEM design — quickly and as often as you want.
- Externally adjustable: depending on application, an eight-position knob or four-position screwdriver slot adjusts both rebound and compression damping in one move — no lifting the vehicle or removing the tires.
- Velocity-sensitive valving: precision multi-stage hydraulic valves react to driving conditions to help maintain tire contact and vehicle control, on the street or the track.
- Built to last: a seamless working cylinder matched with a Teflon-coated piston band for a positive seal and longer life.
- ESC/ABS-friendly: engineered to help vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5174. Signs your struts may need replacing include excessive bounce, poor body control, and uneven tire wear.
