BMW 335i Shock Absorber

The BMW 335i Shock Absorber reduces bounce and body movement to give the car a good balance of comfort and control. A piston inside brings hydraulic fluid through metering valves thousands of times each trip, converting kinetic jolts into heat that dissipates harmlessly. Many 335i sedans left the factory with twin-tube hydraulic dampers that are biased for a smooth ride, but gas charging with pressurized nitrogen keeps foaming at bay, maintaining damping force in spirited driving. Drivers who want sharper response in their BMW 335i can take advantage of the monotube Shock Absorber which, with its single chamber, larger piston, and separated gas pocket, sheds heat quicker and is more resistant to fade, meaning more steady grip when corners pile up. Both designs work with coil springs and strut mounts that isolate noise and allow the front assembly to pivot, but worn bushings, leaking fluid, cupped tires, or excessive dive is a sign that you have a tired Shock Absorber. Replacing a fatigued BMW 335i Shock Absorber restores original ride quality, while choosing the monotube Shock Absorber option further tightens handling for this performance-minded BMW.

If you are looking for OEM BMW 335i Shock Absorber, we highly recommend to shop with us. Not only do we offer budget friendly prices, but we also provide fast delivery. In addition, we have a hassle-free return policy on all genuine BMW 335i Shock Absorber that come backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

Q:
How to properly remove and install a rear shock absorber on BMW 335i?
Posted by Arsenije N.
A:
Working in the luggage compartment, remove the wheel arch trim and raise the car to take off the rear wheel. The shock absorber plays a crucial role in preventing the drive axle and wheel bearing carrier from dropping excessively; therefore, supporting the wheel bearing carrier before disconnecting the shock absorber mounting fasteners is essential to avoid damaging the brake hose, parking brake cable, and drive axle CV joints. Remove the upper shock absorber mount fastener along with the washer, then take out the lower mounting bolt. Compress and detach the shock absorber from the vehicle. If a replacement is needed, transfer the top mount, dust cover (if applicable), and related components to the new shock absorber. Counterhold the piston rod with a suitable wrench while handling the washer plate, bump stop, damper protective tube, and rear shock absorber. The installation process is the reverse of removal, ensuring that all threaded bolts, nuts, and mating surfaces are clean. Attach the shock absorber upper mount to the subframe using new self-locking nuts, and avoid mixing shock brands on a single axle by using the BMW part number to match manufacturers. Finally, tighten the fasteners to the final torque only after the vehicle has been lowered and the suspension has settled.
