KYB 341073 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Honda

The KYB Excel-G 341073 is a front left suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response. It is an OE-style replacement for select Honda Accord and Honda Prelude applications, with calibration focused on factory-like handling rather than changing the vehicle’s character.

KYB’s Excel-G line is made on the same assembly lines used for OE production and uses OE-quality components. For drivers searching for a Honda Accord front left strut or a Honda Prelude front left strut, part number 341073 provides a direct replacement option with vehicle-specific damping.

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G brand line is engineered as an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket solution, meaning it is calibrated to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior. This suspension strut uses a compressed length of 11.33 inches, an extended length of 15.11 inches, and a stroke length of 3.78 inches. It is built for the front left position and is listed for 1986-1989 Honda Accord and 1988-1991 Honda Prelude applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71829 for the same application. Search terms such as 1986-1989 Honda Accord front left strut and 1988-1991 Honda Prelude front left suspension strut align with this fitment.

Common Issues This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or unstable steering feel
• Reduced braking stability from worn suspension control
• Uneven tire contact caused by weak damping
• Noisy or harsh ride from a worn front left strut

Installation Notes

Install according to the manufacturer’s instructions and replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly as specified for the vehicle. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5058, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB108, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt.
