KYB Suspension Strut P/N:333185
Help restore the designed control and handling of your Honda CR-V with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 331049, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit built on KYB's OE assembly lines. It fits the front left position on the 2005-2006 Honda CR-V and is calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5403) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB104). Because struts wear as a set, replacing the left and right units together as a matched pair is best practice for balanced handling.
