Product Details

KYB Excel-G part number 3358002 is engineered as a recommended OEM replacement strut for the BMW X1 RWD. It uses OE-quality components and factory-style damping calibration to restore the vehicle’s designed ride control, lane-change response, and braking stability. This part number 3358002 is built for the front left position on 2013-2015 BMW X1 models and is intended to preserve the suspension behavior the vehicle was designed to deliver.

The Excel-G line focuses on restoring original performance rather than altering it. For BMW X1 front suspension service, that means consistent damping, controlled body motion, and support for electronic safety systems that rely on proper suspension, brake, and tire operation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Common Symptoms This Strut Can Address

• Excessive bouncing or poor rebound control
• Loose or unstable steering feel during lane changes
• Nose dive under braking
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
• Noisy or inconsistent front suspension response

Installation Notes

Fits 2013-2015 BMW X1, front left. Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. KYB recommends installing new shock mounts, part number SM5767, to reduce the chance of noise and vibration. Verify alignment after installation and inspect related suspension components for wear before completing the repair.
