KYB Suspension Strut P/N:333395
KYB 341129 rear suspension strut assembly for the 1993-1994 BMW 740i and other vehicles damps rear wheel movement to help control body movement. The Excel-G is calibrated to return the designed ride control and handling instead of changing it.
A worn rear strut assembly can show up as a bouncy ride, oil film on the strut body or uneven tire wear. Before replacing it, park the car, switch the engine off and look the strut over for a wet seal area or a dented body, since worn mounts or tires can give similar signs. Rear struts are normally changed as a pair, so plan on a second one; this listing is a single strut assembly.
This strut assembly is a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1994 BMW 740i, the 1986-1992 BMW 735i and the 1988-1992 BMW 735iL.
