Product Information
For E39 sedan models with M sport suspension (S704A)
Shock absorbers are a common wear item on higher mileage vehicles in general. On a more performance oriented vehicle such as a BMW worn or completely blown shock absorbers will have a negative effect on performance and handling. If your BMW's ride has become bouncy over rough road surfaces there is a good chance that the shock absorbers will need to be replaced.
Per BMW it is absolutely vital to replace the bump stop when installing new struts.
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 Genuine BMW
