For the Mitsubishi Eclipse, part number 341164 is a rear suspension strut designed to help restore ride control, stability, stopping performance, lane-change response, and handling balance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 71276) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with 1995-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, rear. Fits the rear position only, and the fitment notes specify replacement of the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5091, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Reasons for Replacement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive bouncing or reduced damping at the rear of the vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven tire contact or unstable handling during cornering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise or vibration from worn suspension components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of alignment consistency caused by flexing or worn strut internals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced ride control on a Mitsubishi Eclipse with aging rear suspension parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall the KYB 341164 according to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for rear strut and coil spring service. Because this application uses a suspension strut assembly, proper spring handling and alignment procedures are important. Replacing worn mounts and adding a protective boot can help preserve the new strut and reduce NVH concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced to match original equipment-style performance using OE-quality components.
