SHOCK ABSORBER HONDA RD5 FRONT

Front Shock Absorber Honda RD5 (CR-V RD5) – Price in Kenya

Product Overview

Restore smooth steering and suspension control with this front shock absorber for the Honda RD5 (CR-V).

Delivery & Fitment Tips

✔ Confirm your CR-V chassis (RD5), model year, and the exact part number (331048 / 331050) before you buy.
✔ Ask if the unit is sold as a complete strut assembly or just the shock (prices differ).
