KYBs are great but don't buy these for the 2007+ Honda Element

Whilst this will fit the Front Left Honda Element for all model years the corresponding Right Pillar (KYB 331047) WILL NOT FIT the 2007+ Honda -Element! Therefore I cannot recommend this part for 2007 and up Honda Elements if you require proper A-pillars.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Great racks, but much stiffer than the original.

Excellent support. However, they are much stiffer than OEM racks, so be aware that you will lose some of the benefits that OEM racks offer. The OEM's I filmed were made by kyb, but I don't know which kyb IE gr2, excel etc. The struts came with a top nut and we connected them. Don't forget to prime the racks before installation.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Safety

2006 Honda Element TRQ stays fit better than TRQ stays

. I did not violate the tie rod adjustment. I bought these KYB racks, installed them, now my handlebars are back on center. The metal of the KYB strut is very strong and the physical design of the strut is the same as the original Honda strut. Better made and the rack design is precisely machined. Only time will tell how long these KYB racks will last.

Pros
  • . Easy to use.
Cons
  • . Not the best.

Parts are good but delivery service needs improvement.

Ordered 4 KYB luggage racks for a 2003 Honda Element. The rear struts were a matched pair of KYB 344611 Excel-G gas springs made in the USA and were a real pleasure to install. be a matching pair for the front of the car. I was not happy that the frames that were delivered were made in two different factories. One came from Japan and the other from Malaysia. KYB USA has the information that all of their factories are the same, but I'd rather have a pair made by the same team of engineers and…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Almost never
