Product Details

The KYB AGX line is built for enthusiasts who want to fine-tune suspension response for street driving or more demanding use. This rear strut uses precision multi-stage hydraulic valves to provide a broad adjustment range, letting you tailor damping to the vehicle and driving conditions. For Honda Accord, Acura TL, and Acura CL rear suspension applications, KYB AGX 741050 offers a direct way to increase control without changing the vehicle’s basic suspension layout.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body motion over uneven pavement
• Soft or inconsistent rear damping response
• Reduced tire contact during aggressive cornering
• Need for firmer ride control for street or track use
• Wear-related loss of suspension response in the rear

Installation Notes

Fits 1998-2002 Honda Accord, rear; 1999-2003 Acura TL, rear; and 2001-2003 Acura CL, rear. KYB recommends replacing the rear strut mounts, part number SM5058, to reduce noise and vibration. KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB107, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Verify rear fitment and suspension configuration before installation.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs AGX shocks and struts for adjustable ride control and consistent damping response. The 741050 uses a sealed cylinder and coated piston band to support long service life in demanding suspension applications.
