KYB Suspension Strut P/N:741065
Restore the designed control and handling of your BMW 3 Series with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 333920, a front left strut that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-1998 BMW 318i and 318is, 1995-1999 BMW 318ti, 1998-1999 BMW 323is, 1995 BMW 325i and 325is, and 1996-1999 BMW 328i and 328is. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level list. The Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design built on the same KYB OE assembly lines, calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5255), and protecting your new struts with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB112).
