Product Details
KYB Excel-G is part of KYB’s OE replacement line, engineered to match original suspension behavior rather than change it. For the Acura RSX, this front left strut is calibrated to support ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and consistent handling. The design uses OE-quality components and is assembled on KYB production lines used for original equipment manufacturing. Part number 331602 is also cross-referenced with Monroe Shocks & Struts 72239 for the same application.
What This Strut Helps Address
- Excessive bounce or poor damping at the front left corner
- Loose steering feel or delayed response during lane changes
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
- Noise or vibration from a fatigued strut assembly
- Reduced stability during braking and cornering
Installation Notes
Fits 2003-2004 Acura RSX, front left. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends replacing the strut mount with SM5403. To help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt, KYB recommends a strut boot, part number SB104. Verify vehicle position and OE-style dimensions before installation; compressed length is 13.38 inches, extended length is 19.09 inches, and stroke length is 5.71 inches.
Quality Assurance
KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is built to restore factory-designed suspension performance for the Acura RSX. The strut body and internal valving are engineered for consistent control, alignment support, and dependable operation in everyday driving conditions.
