KYB 341118 Suspension Strut - Front Left

KYB Excel-G Front Left Strut for Honda and Acura

The KYB Excel-G 341118 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 Acura CL applications, with calibration focused on factory handling characteristics rather than changing the vehicle’s feel.

Key Features

• OE-style replacement for Asian vehicles, including Honda and Acura applications
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design for consistent damping performance
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact and body motion
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by helping preserve factory suspension behavior
• Compatible with KYB strut mount SM5058 and strut boot SB108 for related service needs

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s Original Equipment for the Aftermarket line, built on the same OE assembly lines used for new vehicle supply. Part number 341118 uses OE-quality components and factory-style calibration to help restore the designed ride control of the suspension. This front left suspension strut is a direct-fit service part for 1997-1999 Acura CL, front left, and 1990-1993 Honda Accord, front left. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71875 for the same application.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
• Loose steering feel or delayed lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension damping
• Noise and vibration from aging strut components
• Loss of factory ride balance on the front left corner

Installation Notes

Fits 1997-1999 Acura CL, front left. Fits 1990-1993 Honda Accord, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and upper mount type before installation. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount and protective boot during service to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination exposure.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is produced with OE-quality components and factory-style calibration to restore original performance characteristics. The strut body and bracket design are engineered to help maintain alignment under load and support consistent suspension operation.
