Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line for drivers who want factory-style ride control rather than a changed suspension feel. This line is built to restore the vehicle’s original suspension behavior, making it a practical choice for Acura TL front strut replacement work where steering precision and stability matter.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Nose dive during braking
• Body roll during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping

Installation Notes

Fits 1996-1998 Acura TL, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5289, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB108, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72169 for the same application.
