KYB 334621 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for Mini Cooper

The KYB Excel-G 334621 is a front right suspension strut for select Mini Cooper models. Built to restore original ride control, it focuses on steering response, stability, braking feel, and body motion rather than changing the vehicle’s factory behavior.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OEM replacement strut for the front right position
• Restores designed control and handling on Mini Cooper applications
• Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube construction
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Strong strut body and bracket design helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• R-stop design included; dust cover, internal rebound spring, and B-stop are not included

Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-style replacement line, built on the same OE assembly lines used for original equipment supply. Part number 334621 is calibrated to return the suspension to factory-like performance on the Mini Cooper front right corner, making it a practical choice when ride quality has changed due to wear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72265 for the same application.

Compatible with 2007-2013 Mini Cooper, front right, excluding Sports Package models, and 2002-2006 Mini Cooper, front right, with 2003-2006 applications requiring strut and coil spring assembly replacement per manufacturer instructions. It also matches 2002 Mini Cooper, front right, from 3/02. The KYB 334621 is a direct-fit suspension strut for drivers looking to restore OE ride control on Mini Cooper front suspension service.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or reduced damping control
• Loose steering feel or delayed response
• Uneven tire contact during braking and lane changes
• Body roll or instability over rough roads
• Noise or vibration related to worn front suspension components

Installation Notes

Install on the front right side only. For 2003-2006 Mini Cooper applications, replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends new strut mounts, part number SM5443, to reduce noise and vibration during service. Verify vehicle build date and package details before ordering, especially for 2007-2013 Mini Cooper models without the Sports Package.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE shock and strut supplier, and Excel-G components are built with OE-quality parts and factory-style calibration to restore original suspension performance. Part number 334621 is engineered for consistent damping and alignment support in everyday driving conditions.
