KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:551105
Bring controlled, factory-tuned damping back to the rear of your 2004-2010 BMW X3 with the KYB shock absorber 344487 — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G gas shock designed to help restore the vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling rather than change it. Classified as OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket), the Excel-G is assembled on the same KYB OE lines and uses the same OE-quality components KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers.
This is the KYB recommended OEM replacement, designed to help restore the designed control and handling of your 2004-2010 BMW X3 and keep suspension-dependent electronic safety systems performing as intended. It installs in the REAR position and is sold individually — replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
