KYB 341710 Suspension Strut - Rear

KYB Excel-G Rear Strut for BMW 5 Series

The KYB Excel-G 341710 is a rear suspension strut built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response on select BMW 5 Series applications. It is an OE-style replacement for drivers who want factory-correct damping behavior rather than a changed ride feel.

Built on KYB OE assembly lines, the Excel-G line uses OE-quality components and a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design. For BMW 5 Series rear suspension service, this part number 341710 is engineered to help return the vehicle to its designed handling balance.
