Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines and using OE-quality components to return the suspension to its original performance profile. For Honda Civic rear strut replacement and Acura EL rear suspension service, part number 341311 is calibrated to manage ride motion, lane-change response, and tire contact in the way the vehicle manufacturer intended. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71340 for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

  • Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the rear of the vehicle
  • Reduced stability during braking, cornering, or lane changes
  • Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
  • Oil or gas leakage from an aging rear strut
  • Noise or vibration related to worn suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2001-2003 Acura EL, rear, and 2001-2002 Honda Civic, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5687, to reduce noise and vibration. Verify rear suspension condition, alignment settings, and related wear items before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is produced to restore original equipment performance rather than alter it. Part number 341311 uses OE-quality construction and application-specific valving to support consistent ride control in the intended rear suspension applications.
