Product Details

The KYB Excel-G 341179 is engineered for drivers who want the suspension to perform as the vehicle manufacturer intended. It uses a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design with internal valving tuned to support ride control, braking stability, and steering response. This makes it a practical replacement for a worn rear strut on the Honda Prelude, especially when the goal is to recover factory-like handling rather than alter suspension behavior.

Part number 341179 is also built with KYB’s focus on structural rigidity, which helps reduce unwanted flex under load. That matters on the rear of the Honda Prelude, where consistent damping and alignment support can affect tire contact and overall road feel.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the rear of the vehicle
• Reduced stability during braking or lane changes
• Loose or inconsistent rear handling on a Honda Prelude
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration associated with aging strut components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1992-2001 Honda Prelude, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5059, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB108, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt.

Verify rear fitment and suspension condition before installation. For best results, inspect related mounting points and confirm the assembly is installed to factory specifications.
