Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE-style replacement line, produced on the same assembly lines used for original equipment applications and calibrated to restore factory-designed performance rather than alter it. For this rear Honda CR-V strut, part number 340115 is engineered to match the vehicle’s suspension requirements with the correct compressed length, extended length, stroke, and mounting configuration. This makes it a practical choice for replacing a worn rear suspension strut on 2012-2016 Honda CR-V models while preserving the vehicle’s original ride character.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72957 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced stability during braking and lane changes
• Loose or inconsistent rear-end handling
• Suspension noise caused by worn damping components
• Uneven tire contact from degraded strut control

Installation Notes

Fits 2012-2016 Honda CR-V, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5400, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB108, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and Excel-G is built using OE-quality components with OE-style calibration for restored factory performance. Part number 340115 is designed to meet the demands of daily driving while maintaining the suspension behavior expected from the original Honda CR-V setup.
