Product Details

KYB AGX line products are designed for drivers who want more control than a standard OE replacement strut can provide. Part number 741024 uses velocity-sensitive damping response to react quickly to changing road conditions, helping maintain tire contact and vehicle control. Depending on application, AGX units use either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, with the same overall adjustment capability.

Compatible With 1996-2000 Honda Civic, rear and 1997-2000 Acura EL, rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Strut Can Address

• Excessive body motion during cornering or braking
• Soft or inconsistent rear damping response
• Reduced tire contact over uneven pavement
• Need for a more adjustable suspension setup for street or track use
• Worn rear strut performance on a Honda Civic or Acura EL

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this rear suspension strut on the confirmed application only. For reduced noise and vibration, KYB recommends replacing the strut mounts with part number SM5058. Verify ride height, mounting style, and suspension condition before installation, and follow the vehicle service manual for torque and alignment procedures.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs the AGX line for performance-oriented ride control and consistent damping response. Part number 741024 is built with a sealed cylinder design and coated piston band to support long-term operation under demanding driving conditions.
