Product Details

KYB Excel-G is an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket line built on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. Part number 341498 is engineered to restore the designed ride control, stability, stopping performance, lane-change response, and handling expected from the Honda Accord suspension system. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 71989) for the same application.

Common Issues This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor damping at the front left corner
• Reduced steering response during lane changes or cornering
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn suspension control
• Noise or vibration from a fatigued front strut assembly
• Loss of alignment stability from flex in the strut body or bracket

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1994-1997 Honda Accord, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5514, to reduce noise and vibration, and a KYB strut boot, part number SB108, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify all mounting dimensions and hardware compatibility before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier, and the Excel-G line is produced with the same quality focus used for original equipment applications. The design emphasizes restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing them, making KYB Excel-G 341498 a practical replacement choice for Honda Accord suspension service.
