Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is the brand’s OE-style replacement line for drivers who want factory-like suspension behavior. The line is engineered to restore the vehicle’s original performance characteristics rather than alter ride height or handling feel. For the Acura TSX, that means a rear strut tuned to support the chassis as originally designed.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose or delayed handling response in the rear suspension
• Reduced tire contact over uneven pavement
• Noise or vibration from worn suspension damping
• Alignment instability caused by flexing or weakened strut components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2004-2008 Acura TSX, rear. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5585, to reduce noise and vibration. A KYB strut boot, part number SB108, helps protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Confirm compressed length 19.96 in., extended length 27.28 in., stroke length 7.32 in., lower mount type E2(12.2X45), and upper mount type 10X1.25 before installation.

Quality Assurance
