Intended Use and Vehicle Placement

The presented shock absorber is dedicated for installation on the rear axle of the vehicle, with the possibility of use on both the left and right sides. This solution simplifies part selection during comprehensive suspension service, allowing for symmetrical replacement of components on both sides of the vehicle. Its placement at the rear of the car is crucial for stability at higher speeds, traction during acceleration, and comfort over uneven surfaces.

Technical and Functional Characteristics

The shock absorber with this reference has been designed as a component that works with the factory BMW suspension geometry, which translates to predictable body reactions in corners and during braking. Appropriately selected damping characteristics reduce body roll, improve tire contact with the road, and support the operation of safety systems such as ABS or traction control.

Thanks to its construction compliant with the vehicle manufacturer's requirements, the shock absorber helps maintain the correct height and stability of the rear of the car, which is particularly important during dynamic driving and when driving with a load. This is a technical solution that allows for consistent operation of the entire suspension system, without undesirable changes in handling.

Component Condition and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered shock absorber is a used part, representing a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality. For many BMW users, this is a practical way to restore proper suspension operation without the need to invest in new components. A used part allows for the preservation of the original suspension performance characteristics while limiting service expenses.

Choosing such a part is particularly beneficial for routine repairs when you want to quickly restore vehicle functionality and maintain compliance with original design solutions. It is also a good solution in situations where maintaining the consistency of suspension components throughout the vehicle is a priority.

Selection by Numbers and Compatibility

The shock absorber has an assigned OEM part number and related replacement numbers, which facilitates precise identification and selection for a specific BMW version. This allows for checking vehicle compatibility based on service documentation or parts catalogs, without the risk of accidentally selecting an incorrect part. In practice, this means greater certainty of installation and reduced risk of additional service downtime.

It is also important for users and workshops that the product belongs to the Shock Absorbers and Struts group, which makes it easier to search for related suspension components within the same product category.
