Help restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your 2012-2015 BMW X1 with the KYB Excel-G Rear Shock Absorber, MPN 349200. Part of KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, the Excel-G is built to return the suspension to its designed performance rather than change it, and it drops in as a rear-position replacement for the listed application.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes the same quality components KYB uses on its global OEM products.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand assembled in-house to help manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
Because electronic safety systems rely on the suspension working as intended, the Excel-G is engineered to help keep those systems performing as designed. Shocks work as a rear-axle pair, so it's best practice to replace both sides together for balanced damping; this listing is for one unit. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new shock mounts, part number SM5767.
