KYB 741065 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB AGX Front Strut for Honda CR-V

The KYB AGX 741065 is a manually adjustable front suspension strut for 1997-2001 Honda CR-V models. It gives drivers a direct way to tune ride control for street use or more demanding driving without special tools.

Adjustable AGX Ride Control

KYB AGX is the brand’s adjustable performance line, built for drivers who want more control than a standard OE replacement strut. On the Honda CR-V, part number 741065 can add up to 125% more damping force than the original design, with external adjustment that does not require lifting the vehicle or removing the tires. Depending on application, AGX units use either an eight-position knob or a four-position screwdriver slot, and one adjustment changes both rebound and compression damping.

• Manually adjustable front suspension strut for 1997-2001 Honda CR-V
• External damping adjustment for street and performance tuning
• Precision multi-stage hydraulic valves for a wider performance range
• Seamless working cylinder with a Teflon-coated piston band for sealing and service life
• Engineered to work with vehicles equipped with ESC, ABS, and related safety systems
• R-stop design included; dust cover is not included

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive body motion during cornering or lane changes
• Soft or inconsistent front-end damping on a Honda CR-V
• Need for firmer ride control for spirited driving or track use
• Loss of tire contact over uneven pavement
• Front suspension wear that calls for a performance-oriented replacement strut

Installation Notes

Fits 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, front. KYB recommends replacing the strut mount at the same time to reduce noise and vibration; use KYB SM5538. KYB also recommends a strut boot, part number SB108, to help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Part number 741065 is a direct-fit performance strut for the listed application, and it cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs AGX struts for performance tuning with velocity-sensitive damping valves that react quickly to changing road conditions and help maintain tire contact and vehicle control. The 741065 is built with a positive-seal piston band and a working cylinder design intended for long service life in demanding use.
