KYB 741042 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB AGX Front Suspension Strut for Eclipse

The KYB AGX front suspension strut is built for drivers who want manual ride control without special tools. For 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse applications, part number 741042 lets you tune damping for street driving or more demanding conditions while keeping the suspension response consistent.

Key Features

• Manually adjustable performance strut for enthusiast-focused suspension tuning
• Adjustment can add up to 125% more damping force on the Talon and Eclipse applications listed by KYB
• External adjustment does not require lifting the vehicle or removing the tires
• Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves provide a broad performance range
• Seamless working cylinder with a Teflon-coated piston band for sealing and durability
• Engineered to work with vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
• R-stop design included; upper mount type S1

Product Details

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line, designed for drivers who want to fine-tune suspension response from one setting to the next. This front strut uses a knob or screwdriver-slot adjustment depending on application, and one adjustment changes both rebound and compression damping. On a 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, KYB part number 741042 provides a direct way to increase control for sharper handling, firmer response, and better tire contact under changing road or track conditions.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body motion during cornering or braking
• Soft or inconsistent front-end damping response
• Need for adjustable suspension tuning on a Mitsubishi Eclipse front suspension setup
• Reduced tire contact control on rough or high-load driving surfaces
• Noise and vibration concerns when paired with worn upper mounts

Installation Notes

Fits 1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, front. KYB recommends replacing the strut mounts with part number SM5543 to reduce noise and vibration, and adding a KYB strut boot, part number SB103, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify vehicle application and front suspension configuration before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs AGX components with velocity-sensitive damping valves and durable internal sealing materials to maintain consistent response over time. Part number 741042 is built for performance-oriented use on the Mitsubishi Eclipse front suspension and is engineered to work with modern vehicle safety systems.
