KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3448017

Description

Bring rear damping back toward factory specification with the KYB shock absorber, part number 3448017 — a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube Excel-G unit that installs in the REAR position on a wide range of BMW cars. This suspension shock absorber fits many BMW models, among them the 2016-2018 BMW 320i xDrive, 2017-2021 BMW 230i xDrive and 2017-2020 BMW 230i; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level details. KYB builds the Excel-G on the same assembly lines it uses for original-equipment shocks and calibrates it to restore a vehicle's designed performance rather than change it, which is why it carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

Twin-tube, gas-charged design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock built with the same OE-quality components KYB uses for its global OEM products.
Vehicle-specific damping: hand-assembled, vehicle-specific damping valves are calibrated to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Supports the vehicle's systems: helps restore the designed control and handling of your BMW and helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as intended.

As a gas shock absorber and KYB-recommended OE replacement, it drops in where the original rear damper has worn — worn rear shocks often show up as excess bounce, poor body control and uneven tire wear. If a tired rear shock is the cause, this Excel-G replaces it.
