KYB 741014 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB AGX Rear Suspension Strut for Performance Control

The KYB AGX rear suspension strut, part number 741014, gives drivers manual control over ride damping without special tools. Built for 1990-1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 1992-1994 Plymouth Laser, and 1990-1992 Mitsubishi Galant rear applications, it is a fitment-focused upgrade for street and track use.

Key Features

• Manually adjustable performance strut for enthusiast-driven suspension tuning
• Up to 125% more damping force than the vehicle’s OE design
• External adjustment without lifting the vehicle or removing the tires
• Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves for a wider performance range
• Seamless working cylinder with a Teflon-coated piston band for a positive seal and longer service life
• Engineered to help vehicles with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
• Rear application with lower mount type E2(25X43) and upper mount type S1

Product Details

KYB AGX is a performance-oriented product line built around adjustable ride control. On this rear suspension strut, the adjustment changes rebound and compression damping together, letting you tailor response for daily driving, spirited road use, or track conditions. Depending on the vehicle application, AGX units use either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot; both provide the same adjustment range. Part number 741014 is a direct-fit rear strut for Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser, and Mitsubishi Galant applications listed below.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body motion during cornering, braking, or acceleration
• Soft or inconsistent rear damping on performance-oriented builds
• Reduced tire contact over changing road or track conditions
• Need for a rear strut that can be tuned without removing the tires
• Wear-related loss of control in aging OE-style suspension setups
