Quick facts

Part: KYB 334946 suspension strut assembly
Fits: 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci and other vehicles
Position: Front left
Condition: New

Extra bounce after bumps, nose dive under braking or oil on the strut body can mean a worn strut. Before you replace it, rule out tire wear, worn strut mounts and alignment, since each of those can also make a car wander or knock. Struts are normally replaced as a pair, so plan on the front right as well; this listing is one front left strut.

Fits

Along with the 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci, this front left strut assembly is a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2006 BMW 330Ci and the 2001-2005 BMW 325i.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this KYB suspension strut assembly fit the 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci?

Yes. KYB 334946 is the front left strut assembly for the 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci, 2001-2006 BMW 330Ci and 2001-2005 BMW 325i. If your car is not one of these, look up its year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.

Is the KYB front strut assembly 334946 for the left or right side?

It is for the front left. The front right side takes its own strut assembly, which is a separate part.

Is this KYB suspension strut nitrogen gas-charged?

Yes. KYB 334946 is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut with a triple lip fluid seal that reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.

What does a floaty ride or a clunk over rough pavement say about a front strut?

A floating ride, a clunk over rough pavement or more lean in turns can each be a sign of a worn strut. A shop can inspect the suspension safely on a lift.

Should I install new strut mounts with this KYB strut assembly?

Yes. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5260. A KYB strut boot, part number SB112, guards against dirt, debris and salt; both are separate parts.
