Keep your Mini's front corner damped and composed with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 334621, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut that installs in the front right (passenger-side front) position on the 2002-2013 MINI COOPER. Part of KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, the Excel-G is calibrated to help restore the vehicle's originally designed control and handling rather than change it.
- Twin-tube gas design: Nitrogen gas-charged construction built with OE-quality components to help restore the Mini's original ride control, stability, and handling.
- Strong strut body & brackets: Thick bodies and brackets that minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking past the seal.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: Hand-assembled valving that manages tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5443, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. As a paired suspension component, replacing the strut on both sides together is best practice for balanced ride control; this listing is for one strut.
