Product Details

The KYB Excel-G line is KYB’s OE replacement series, built on the same assembly lines and with the same quality components used for original equipment production. Part number 341497 is calibrated to return the suspension to its original damping characteristics rather than change the vehicle’s behavior. For drivers servicing a Honda Accord front right suspension strut, this part supports stable braking, lane change response, and consistent handling.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 71989 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Reduced steering precision during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact from worn damping control
• Noise or vibration from aged strut components
• Loss of original ride control on Honda Accord front suspension

Installation Notes

Fits 1994-1997 Honda Accord, front right. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify the upper mount thread size and all mounting points before installation. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount and adding a strut boot to help reduce noise, vibration, and contamination exposure.
