Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s Original Equipment for the Aftermarket line, engineered to restore the factory ride characteristics rather than change them. Part number 341727 is designed for the rear right position on 2007-2013 BMW X5 models and 2008-2014 BMW X6 models with the listed suspension and seating exclusions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 37346 for the same application.

For BMW X5 and BMW X6 owners looking for a direct-fit suspension shock absorber, the Excel-G line focuses on ride control, lane-change response, braking stability, and predictable handling. The design supports the vehicle’s electronic safety systems by helping the suspension, brakes, and tires operate as intended.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or unstable rear suspension feel
• Reduced braking stability
• Poor lane-change response
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping
