What does 'Exc. Elect. Susp.' mean for this strut?

This means the strut is designed for BMW X3 and X4 models that do NOT have the factory electronic suspension system. If your vehicle has adjustable suspension settings controlled electronically, this strut will not be compatible.

Do these struts come with new mounting hardware?

This listing is for the rear strut assembly only. It's recommended to inspect your existing mounting hardware for wear and tear, and replace any worn components as needed during installation.

How often should rear struts be replaced?

Rear struts typically need replacement every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Signs of wear include a bouncy ride, nose-diving during braking, or visible leaks from the strut body.

Product Details

If you're noticing a rougher ride, excessive bouncing, or a general lack of control from the rear of your 2011-2017 BMW X3 or 2015-2018 BMW X4 (excluding models with electronic suspension), it's likely time to replace your rear struts. These KYB Excel-G rear struts are built to bring back the comfortable ride and responsive handling your BMW originally had.

KYB's Excel-G line is known for its ability to replicate the factory feel. They use a monotube design with a larger piston area than twin-tube struts, which helps them respond quicker to road conditions and maintain consistent damping performance. This means you get a well-controlled ride without feeling every little bump. The valving is specifically tuned to match the original equipment specifications for your X3 or X4, ensuring a direct replacement that works seamlessly with your vehicle's suspension system.

Replacing your rear struts is a common maintenance item that makes a big difference in how your vehicle feels on the road. These KYB struts are a solid option for restoring that factory-fresh driving experience.
