BMW Z4 Shock Absorber

The BMW Z4 Shock Absorber helps to control the movement of the wheels, turning bumps into mild movements to keep the roadster planted and comfortable. It tames the rebound of the spring with a piston that forces fluid through precision valves, converting kinetic energy to heat and halting bounce, dive, and body roll. Early Z4 models were based on a twin-tube Shock Absorber with hydraulic oil, which was fine for daily cruising but easily foamed by aggressive use. Later editions offered a gas-charged twin-tube Shock Absorber, which added pressurized nitrogen to control the aeration and gave the BMW its crisp feeling in spirited corners. Performance packages included a monotube Shock Absorber with a single larger chamber, larger piston area, and faster heat dissipation, which is ideal for track days and long mountain descents. Each generation of BMW maintains a balance of comfort and control in the Shock Absorber. Whichever style a Z4 carries, worn seals, leaking fluid, or tired bushings around the upper mount will be apparent by harsh ride, nose dive, cupped tires, etc. Enough said, it is time for fresh components so that the BMW Z4 will continue steering sharply and absorbing shocks with confidence.

If you are looking for OEM BMW Z4 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 Z4 Shock Absorber that come backed by the manufacturer's warranty.

For Sedan and Coupe models, remove the carpet and the shock absorber liner in the trunk, also, take out the warning triangle and its bracket, side trim cover and insulation panel to gain access to the nuts and bolts securing the upper end of the shock absorber. As for wagon models, it is necessary to take out the interior trim panel. Place a jack under the Trailing Arm so that the latter would not fall down when the nut for the shock absorber is removed.
