KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:345074
Restore controlled, fade-free damping at the rear of your 2000-2006 BMW X5 with the KYB Gas-a-just High Pressure Monotube Gas Shock (MPN 555610). It drops in as an OE monotube replacement designed to help restore the vehicle's designed control and handling.
The higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response, and KYB says the Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride and handling. KYB also recommends protecting the installation with a Strut Boot (SB107) and fitting new strut mounts (SM5253) to reduce noise and vibration.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does this KYB shock fit?
It is listed as a rear shock absorber for the 2000-2006 BMW X5. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
Is this a monotube or twin-tube shock?
It is a KYB Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube gas shock. The monotube design separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
Should I replace both rear shocks at once?
Shocks are sold individually, so this listing is for one. Replacing both rear shocks together as a matched pair is recommended for balanced, even ride and handling.
What does the triple chrome-plated piston rod do?
The ultra-smooth triple chrome plated rod is designed to reduce seal wear. Since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure, this helps protect the seal.
Does KYB recommend any companion parts?
Yes. KYB recommends a Strut Boot (part SB107) to guard against dirt, debris and salt, and new strut mounts (part SM5253) to reduce the chance of noise and vibration.
