Quick facts

Part: KYB 341211 suspension strut
Fits: 1997-2001 BMW 740i and other vehicles
Position: Rear
Condition: New

A bouncy ride after bumps, a rear end that sways in lane changes or oil on the strut body can mean this strut is worn, though worn strut mounts or tires can be behind the same signs. This listing is one rear strut; the car takes one on each side of the axle, and both are normally replaced together.

Fits

It fits the 1997-2001 BMW 740i and the 1995-2001 BMW 740iL. KYB Excel-G shocks and struts are made on the same assembly lines KYB uses for new-vehicle manufacturers.
