Do I need to replace both front struts at the same time?

It is generally recommended to replace struts in pairs on the same axle. This ensures balanced handling and consistent ride quality between the left and right sides of your vehicle.

What is the difference between a gas strut and a shock absorber?

While often used interchangeably, struts are a structural part of the suspension system that also dampens movement, whereas shock absorbers primarily focus on damping. This KYB Excel-G strut uses gas pressure to help maintain consistent damping performance.

Does this strut come with any mounting hardware?

This product is the KYB Excel-G gas strut only. Mounting hardware, such as nuts and bolts, is typically reused from the original strut assembly or may need to be purchased separately.

Product Details

This is the KYB Excel-G front left gas strut for your 2017-2021 Honda Civic Hatchback, excluding the Type R model. If your Civic's front end feels a bit worn out, or you're looking to restore its original handling and ride comfort, this strut is a solid option. It's designed to replace the factory strut, helping to control body roll and absorb road imperfections for a more stable drive.

KYB's Excel-G struts are built with a monotube design, which helps them dissipate heat better than twin-tube designs, leading to more consistent performance, especially during extended driving or on rougher roads. The valving inside is tuned to match the original equipment specifications, aiming to bring back that factory feel. Installation is straightforward, as it's made to be a direct replacement for your stock strut, meaning no modifications are typically needed.

When replacing a strut, it's often a good idea to replace both sides on the same axle to ensure balanced handling. This part is for the front left side only.
