KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Front Right 13-15 BMW X1 AWD

When your 2012-2015 BMW X1 AWD starts to feel a bit loose or less responsive, it's often the struts that need attention. This KYB Excel-G front right strut is built to bring back the original handling and stability your X1 had when it was new. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these struts are made on the same assembly lines using the same kinds of parts, so you're getting a part that's designed to match your vehicle's original specifications.

The Excel-G uses a twin-tube design charged with nitrogen gas. This setup helps maintain consistent performance, which is key for restoring your vehicle's ride control, stability, and responsiveness in situations like braking and lane changes. It's calibrated to bring back the factory feel, not to alter it, making it a popular choice for technicians who want to get the vehicle back to its intended driving characteristics.

When you're replacing your struts, KYB recommends installing new shock mounts at the same time, like their part number SM5767, to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration down the road.
