Product Details
KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE replacement line, focused on restoring the vehicle’s original suspension behavior rather than changing it. For the Acura RL, part number 341434 is calibrated to return designed ride control, stability, stopping response, lane-change responsiveness, and handling. The strut uses a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design with hand-assembled damping valves and OE-quality construction to support consistent performance. If you are replacing a worn front right strut on a 1996-2001 Acura RL, the KYB Excel-G 341434 is built for that application.
Common Problems This Strut Can Address
- Excessive bouncing or poor damping over bumps
- Loose steering feel or delayed turn-in response
- Nose dive during braking
- Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
- Noise or vibration from a fatigued front right strut
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1996-2001 Acura RL, front right. 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, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB108, to help protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt. After installation, perform a professional alignment.
Quality Assurance
KYB is a major OE supplier to new vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is produced on the same KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The line is classified as OEA, indicating an original-equipment-for-the-aftermarket replacement approach for restoring factory performance.
