Restore the designed control and handling of your BMW X3 with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 335833, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit that installs in the front right position. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2010 BMW X3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application list and engine details.
KYB's Excel-G is built on the same assembly lines as its OE products and is calibrated to bring the vehicle back to its original, designed performance rather than change it, earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube gas design: nitrogen gas-charged construction that KYB recommends as an OEM replacement strut.
- Triple lip fluid seal: designed to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Hand-assembled damping valves: vehicle-specific valving intended to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Robust strut body and brackets: thick construction that minimizes flex to help maintain correct alignment.
KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5260) and protecting the new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB117) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
