KYB 741060 Suspension Strut - Rear

Adjustable Rear Suspension Control

KYB AGX part number 741060 is a manually adjustable rear suspension strut for drivers who want to tune ride control without special tools. It is built for 2001-2003 Acura EL and 2001-2002 Honda Civic rear applications, giving you a direct way to change damping for street driving or more demanding conditions.

The AGX line is designed for enthusiasts who want more control than a standard OE replacement can provide. On the Honda Civic and Acura EL rear suspension, KYB 741060 lets you increase damping force as needed while keeping adjustment simple and accessible.

Key Features

• Manually adjustable performance strut for rear suspension tuning
• Adjustment can add up to 125% more damping force on the Honda Civic application
• Externally adjustable without lifting the vehicle or removing the tires
• Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves for a broad performance range
• Seamless working cylinder with a Teflon-coated piston band for sealing and durability
• Engineered to help vehicles equipped with electronic safety systems such as ESC and ABS
• R-stop design included

Product Details

KYB AGX is a performance-focused product line built around quick damping adjustment. Depending on the vehicle application, the strut uses either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, but both provide the same overall control range. One adjustment changes both rebound and compression damping, allowing the rear suspension to be set up for daily driving, spirited road use, or track-oriented conditions. Part number 741060 is a practical choice for Acura EL and Honda Civic owners looking for a rear strut with more tuning flexibility than a standard replacement.

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

Common Problems It Can Address

• Excessive rear body motion over bumps and dips
• Reduced tire contact during aggressive cornering
• Need for firmer damping than OE-style replacement struts provide
• Inconsistent rear suspension response during performance driving
• Noise and vibration concerns when paired with worn upper mounts

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2001-2003 Acura EL, rear, and 2001-2002 Honda Civic, rear. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5058, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Verify rear suspension condition, inspect related hardware, and set the adjustment to match driving conditions before final road testing.
