Product Details

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line, designed for drivers who want to change damping settings to match road conditions, tire setup, or driving style. This front left strut uses a simple external adjuster to change both rebound and compression damping, making it practical for Honda Civic, Honda Civic del Sol, and Acura Integra applications where OE replacement parts may not provide enough control. Part number 741006 is a direct-fit suspension strut for the listed vehicles and positions.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Excessive body roll or soft front-end response
• Reduced control during aggressive cornering or spirited driving
• Inconsistent damping after suspension wear
• Front suspension behavior that feels too compliant for performance use
• Need for a tunable strut on a Honda Civic, Civic del Sol, or Acura Integra front left corner

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front left position before installation. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount to help reduce noise and vibration, and adding a strut boot to help protect the unit from road contamination. After installation, set the damping position to match the vehicle’s current use and suspension setup.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs the AGX line for adjustable performance control with velocity-sensitive damping response and durable internal sealing components. Part number 741006 is engineered for the listed Honda and Acura applications and is suited for drivers who need more tuning range than a standard OE-style replacement strut.
