Restore controlled, composed ride quality with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 341730, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas shock that installs in the rear left position on the 2007-2013 BMW X5 and 2008-2014 BMW X6. KYB is a leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is calibrated to help restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction that includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- OEA build: made on the same KYB OE assembly lines, earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and making it a KYB-recommended OEM replacement.
The Excel-G is designed to help keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working together. Sold individually; replacing both sides of the same axle together is recommended for balanced ride control.
