Product Information

Direct Replacement Strut Assembly Straight from Sachs

Over countless thousands of miles of driving, your BMW takes a lot of abuse. In particular, the suspension sees most of this abuse. If your BMW feels "disconnected" from the road there's a pretty good chance that your shocks and struts are worn. Replace today to restore your BMW's ride.

Please note: This strut has an internal stop buffer which acts as a rebound damper. Without the coil spring installed the piston shaft may appear shorter than originally equipped struts. This is completely normal as without the tension from the coil spring the piston shaft remains in a slightly compressed state.

Suspension Strut Assembly

If your ride feels a little bouncy or you can feel clunks in the suspension while it's going over bumps it is likely due to worn strut assemblies and shock absorbers. The purpose of the strut assembly is it acts as a central pivot point for the suspension while housing the coil spring. It also dampens the compression and rebound of the coil spring as the suspension moves up and down. When replacing suspension components it is highly recommended to replace them in pairs.

Suspension Strut Assembly Failure Symptoms
  • Noise over bumps
  • Abnormal tire wear
  • Vehicle wandering while driving
  • Poor Steering response
  • Poor Handling
  • Harsh ride

About Sachs

ZF Sachs AG, also known as Fichtel & Sachs was founded in Schweinfurt in 1895 and was a well-known German family business. At its last point as an independent company, the company name was Fichtel & Sachs AG. In 1997, the automotive supplier was taken over by Mannesmann and renamed Mannesmann Sachs AG. As of 2001, Sachs belonged to ZF Friedrichshafen as a subsidiary company ZF Sachs AG. In 2011, ZF Sachs, like other Group subsidiaries, was legally merged with ZF Friedrichshafen AG and the independent business units integrated into the ZF divisions. Sachs has since become a brand of ZF Friedrichshafen AG.

Sachs is a trusted brand of the ZF family, which includes Lemforder, TRW, Boge, Stabilus, ZF parts and Sachs Performance. All divisions are well respected within their automotive specialty as they are all OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) to car brands like Audi, Porsche, BMW, Volvo and more. Sachs specializes in shock absorbers, struts and clutches, with FCP Euro stocking many solutions based on your needs, be it an OE replacement or a higher performance clutch, shock or strut. All Sachs parts are built to meet or exceed the OEM specifications, this provides confidence and value when choosing Sachs over a Genuine part.

Not happy with the ride height!
I replaced the struts/shocks all around, and while the ride is fine, I, too, have an increased front ride height by an inch. Checked everything, and nothing is amiss. Why are these lifting my car? They appear to be the same as what came out - an original Sachs (BMW branded) aluminum - bodied sport strut.

Sachs Front struts for M-Sport Suspension
An Indy shop just installed a pair on my '99 528i. They said they installed fine.

Consultant Engineer
This replaced factory front struts for a 2001 BMW 530i with the Msport package because the right front strut was leaking. I followed the suggestion to replace the bump stop and the strut mount when replacing the struts. The positive news is the ride is near to that of the factory struts and the new strut mounts fixed the play in the struts. The negative to neutral news is that the ride height is about an inch higher. The factory setup had virtually no gap between the tire and the fenders, a nice low, aggressive stance. I was hoping these struts would have the same ride height, the installer also noted that no bump stops were on the car when he disassembled the front struts. Overall, good, comparable ride to the factory struts, but the increased ride height was disappointing.
