Product Details

Part number 3340185 is part of KYB’s Excel-G line, a product family focused on restoring factory ride control rather than altering suspension behavior. For the Acura ILX, this front left suspension strut is engineered to support braking stability, lane-change responsiveness, and predictable handling by matching the vehicle’s original damping characteristics. The design uses KYB’s OE manufacturing approach and quality components to deliver consistent performance for daily driving.

This part cross-references Acura 51621TX6A04 and 51621TX6A05 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll during turns and lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping

Installation Notes

Fits 2013-2015 Acura ILX, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5817, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB101, helps protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced on the same KYB assembly lines using OE-quality components. The part is calibrated to restore original designed performance for the Acura ILX and support proper operation of suspension-dependent electronic safety systems.
