Product Details

KYB AGX is the adjustable performance line from KYB, created for drivers who want to fine-tune suspension response for changing road conditions. On this 741066 rear strut, one adjustment changes both rebound and compression damping, helping the Honda CR-V maintain tire contact and vehicle control. The design uses velocity-sensitive damping valves to react quickly as driving conditions change, while the sealed cylinder and piston band support long service life.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body motion over rough pavement
• Loose or inconsistent rear suspension response
• Need for firmer damping during performance driving
• Reduced control when carrying varying loads or driving on changing surfaces
• Wear-related ride quality decline in the rear suspension

Installation Notes
