KYB 331010 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Honda Civic

The KYB Excel-G 331010 is a suspension strut for the front right position on select 2002-2005 Honda Civic models. Built to restore original ride control and handling, it is a direct-fit OE-style replacement for drivers addressing worn suspension performance on a Honda Civic.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement from KYB’s Excel-G line
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut design
• Vehicle-specific damping calibration to restore factory ride control
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Hand-assembled, in-house damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• R-stop internal rebound control is included

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s original-equipment-for-the-aftermarket line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components. Part number 331010 is calibrated to return the suspension to its designed control characteristics rather than change the vehicle’s ride feel. For 2002-2005 Honda Civic front right applications, this strut supports stable braking, lane-change response, and consistent handling. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72185 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or float from a worn front strut
• Reduced steering response in a Honda Civic
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping control
• Noisy or unstable suspension behavior from aging components
• Loss of ride stability during braking and lane changes

Installation Notes

Fits 2002-2005 Honda Civic, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The upper mount type is 12x1.25. Compressed length is 12.81, extended length is 19.13, and stroke length is 6.32.
