Quick facts

Part: KYB 341081 suspension strut assembly
Fits: 1989-1995 BMW 525i and other vehicles
Position: Rear
Condition: New

A wearing strut can show up as oily wetness on its body, a bouncy ride after bumps or a clunk over rough pavement. Those signs can have other causes, so with the car parked and the engine off, look over the strut body and its mount for wetness or damage before you replace it.

Fits

This rear strut assembly fits the 1989-1995 BMW 525i, the 1994-1995 BMW 530i and the 1988-1993 BMW 535i. The 1989-1995 BMW 525i takes two, and this listing is one strut, so the other rear strut on that axle is normally replaced at the same time. If your car is not named here, look for it in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
