BMW 3-Series Shock & Strut Mounts

While shock & strut mounts may not sound like something too complicated, they are among some of the most important parts of your auto’s suspension system. These components serve as mounting points for your Bimmer’s shock and strut assemblies and connect them to its chassis. The BMW 3-Series, alike to many others vehicles, can experience a range of issues with their shock & strut mounts & hardware. Signs of worn out or loose mounts are very similar to many other suspension parts, they include loosening bolts, worn out rubber / silicone inserts, slightly bent shafts, and certain others.

The finest way to deal with all of the aforementioned problems is to use newly-purchased BMW 3-Series shock and strut mounts & hardware. In general, if the shocks and struts are replaced because of aging or wear, then the mounts and hardware are replaced as well. When it comes to their installation, it will always be a breeze, with one side being bolted to the auto and the other to the side of the shock / strut. In the middle there’s the insulating material. The mounts are there to cushion the impacts so as to reduce the jarring effect, road noises, and vibrations that could otherwise be transmitted to the vehicle.
