Restore the designed control and handling of your BMW X3 with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 335834, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut cataloged for the front-left position on the 2004-2010 BMW X3 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). KYB is a world-leading supplier of shocks and struts to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines and calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut that includes the quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Strong strut bodies and brackets: built to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
Electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as the manufacturer intended, and the Excel-G helps keep them performing as designed. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5260) and protecting your new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB117).
