What does the monotube design do for my ride?

The monotube design separates the gas and fluid inside the strut. This helps prevent foaming, which can lead to inconsistent damping and a less controlled ride, especially during spirited driving or over rough roads.

Do I need to buy two of these struts?

It's highly recommended to replace struts in pairs on the same axle. Installing one new strut and leaving the old one on the other side can lead to uneven handling and braking performance.

Will this strut fit my BMW X5 with electronic suspension?

No, this specific KYB Excel-G strut (part number 3418002) is designed for vehicles without electronic suspension controls. You will need to find a different part number if your BMW X5 or X6 is equipped with that feature.

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G rear right strut uses a monotube design, which helps keep the fluid and gas separated. This design helps prevent foaming, so you get more consistent damping performance, especially when the strut is working hard. This is the right side strut for your 2014-2018 BMW X5 or 2015-2019 BMW X6, as long as your vehicle doesn't have electronic suspension controls.

KYB's Excel-G struts are built to restore your vehicle's original ride and handling characteristics. They use a low-pressure gas charge and a valving system that adapts to road conditions, aiming to provide a comfortable ride without sacrificing control. This strut is a direct replacement, meaning it's made to fit right onto your BMW's original mounting points, simplifying the installation process.

When replacing struts, it's always a good idea to replace them in pairs on the same axle to ensure balanced handling. Make sure to check your vehicle's specific suspension type to confirm this strut is compatible, as it excludes models with electronic suspension.
