Detailed Description

KYB Excel-G 341119 is a rear suspension strut for 1997-1999 Acura CL and 1990-1993 Honda Accord models.

The design includes a triple-lip fluid seal, a nitrogen gas charge, and a twin-tube layout to help maintain stable operation under everyday driving conditions. Part number 341119 is commonly searched for rear strut replacement on Honda Accord and Acura CL vehicles.
