Rear Shock Absorber for 1996-2002 BMW Z3 - KYB 343330

Firm up rear ride control with the KYB shock absorber 343330, a nitrogen gas-charged rear gas shock built for the 1996-2002 BMW Z3. This Excel-G unit is calibrated to restore your vehicle's original, designed damping — not change it — helping maintain stability, stopping, lane-change response and handling as the suspension wears.

• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
• Triple lip fluid seal: reduces 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.
• OEA classification: made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, earning the Original Equipment for the Aftermarket rating and helping keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.

This is a rear-position shock, sold individually — this listing is for one. For even, balanced damping, replacing both rear shocks at the same time as a matched pair is recommended. Signs a shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, poor handling, or fluid leaking from the shock body; diagnose the cause before replacing. Fits the 1996-2002 BMW Z3 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact configuration.
