Product Information

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.

Question Posted by Oleksandr
Hi, I’d like to buy these shocks, but I noticed the right shock is $159 while the left shock is $215. Could you tell me why there is such a large price difference? Are they identical except for side-specific fitment?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Admittedly based on COGS, these are costing us more for this side then it is to purchase and stock the 31316796409 counterpart.
