KYB 334945 Suspension Strut - Front Right

KYB Excel-G Front Right Strut for BMW 3 Series

KYB Excel-G part number 334945 is a front right suspension strut for select BMW 3 Series models from 1999-2006. It is built to restore original ride control, steering response, and body stability for daily driving and OE-style replacement needs.

Excel-G OE Replacement Design

The KYB Excel-G line is calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed handling characteristics rather than change them. This strut uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design with OE-quality components and is assembled on KYB production lines used for original equipment applications. For BMW 325i, 330i, 325Ci, and related E46 chassis vehicles, 334945 supports consistent damping and predictable front-end control.

Installation Notes

Replace worn strut mounts to reduce noise and vibration; KYB recommends mount part number SM5260. A KYB strut boot, part number SB112, helps protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and road salt. Verify suspension package, sport suspension, and adaptive control suspension exclusions before ordering. Part number 334945 is a direct-fit front right strut for the listed BMW 3 Series applications.

KYB is a major OE shock and strut supplier, and Excel-G is built on the same assembly lines used for original equipment production. The design focuses on restoring factory-style ride control and handling for the specified BMW 3 Series fitments.
