Detailed Description

The KYB Excel-G line is engineered to return suspension response to factory-style behavior, making it a practical choice for drivers who want predictable ride control and steering feel. This suspension strut, part number 3358029, uses a nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design and OE-quality components to support stable braking, lane-change response, and handling balance. It is a direct replacement for select BMW X3 and BMW X4 front right applications, including Fits 2011-2017 BMW X3, front right and Fits 2015-2018 BMW X4, front right. This part cross-references BMW numbers 31316796316 and 31316796410 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or reduced damping control.
• Loose or unsettled handling during lane changes.
• Reduced stability under braking.
• Uneven ride response from a worn suspension strut.
• Loss of original steering and road feel.

Installation Notes

Verify fitment by year, make, model, and position before installation. This strut is specified for front right applications only, and the upper mount type is 12x1.50. Compare the removed part to the new unit and confirm all mounting points and dimensions match the vehicle requirements.
