KYB 741020 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB AGX Rear Suspension Strut for Eclipse

The KYB AGX rear suspension strut is built for drivers who want adjustable ride control on a 1995-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse. This KYB AGX 741020 rear strut lets you tune damping for street driving or more demanding conditions without removing the tires.

Key Features

• Manually adjustable performance suspension strut for enthusiast-focused tuning
• Adjustable to add up to 125% more damping force on the Talon and Eclipse
• External adjustment with no lift required and no tire removal needed
• Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves for a wider performance range
• Seamless working cylinder with Teflon-coated piston band for sealing and service life
• Engineered to help vehicles with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
• Rear position application for 1995-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Product Details

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line, designed for drivers who want more control than a standard OE replacement strut can provide. This rear suspension strut uses either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, depending on application, and both adjustment styles change rebound and compression together. The result is a straightforward way to tailor rear suspension response on a Mitsubishi Eclipse without special tools. Part number 741020 is a fitment-specific solution for rear suspension tuning on the Eclipse platform.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear suspension softness during spirited driving
• Reduced tire contact over uneven pavement or changing road surfaces
• Need for firmer damping during autocross or track use
• Rear-end instability from worn or inconsistent strut performance
• Limited adjustability from standard replacement struts

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1995-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse, rear.
• KYB recommends replacing the strut mount to reduce noise and vibration; use KYB SM5091.
• Protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB strut boot, part number SB103.
• Verify rear suspension condition and alignment after installation.
• Adjustment can be made externally after installation, depending on vehicle access.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs the AGX line for performance-oriented ride control with velocity-sensitive damping valves that react quickly to driving conditions. Part number 741020 is built for the rear suspension of the Mitsubishi Eclipse and follows KYB’s application-specific engineering approach.
