I replaced the strut and bottom mount on E93 yesterday. One of the E12 bolts rounded off and the captive nut on the old mount started spinning so had to lower spring arm to get access to cut E12 bolt with hacksaw. It them took me an hour and a half to get the bolt back in the spring arm as it wouldn't line up the other side. Lots of swearing later I eventually managed it. I'm in agony today with all they gymnastics that were involved! Managed the other side ok without having to lower the spring arm.

Nice work ….I did this job on my 12 E92 335xi today however I took the shock out instead of dealing with having to lower the spring arm. It seems a bit less fuss that way and you have easier access to the lower shock mount.

I am just lazy, replaced rear shocks with Sachs, Lemforder lower absorber mounts, top shock mounts. Sachs Rear springs also done.

I usually compress the shock while the bottom mount bolts are already loosen and take it out and put in in quickly before the shock decompress. Great video though just needed to see if there’s a specific orientation of the mount!

Hi sir, may I know why my e90 320d m-sport 2011 didn't have Bump Stop, i noticed that when I want to replace mount kit sets on my rear absorber?

Literally need to to do this job next. Great timing 👍

@nihonkokusai

My shock was leaking had to replace top bearing and lower rubber due stuckiness of the rust. Out of saving time replace lower rubbers shocks and springs

@jjturner7463

would i need an alignment after doing this?

What is your opinion after installing bilstein b12 suspension kit? Does the car run too hard?

@user-qv7ol9hf3l Жыл бұрын

Hi! Does this part affect the height of the suspension? Did the clearance change after the replacement?

@user-ob9og3gz6b

Spot in. A must replace when replacing shocks. Thanks.

Great content really helpful 👍

Moral of the story. Don’t use impact guns on small bolts. It strips threads too easily. Laziness doesn’t save you any time when threads get stripped.

How do you feel about bilstein b12? How much does the car lower?

@spencerhulme1203

Hello Aaanton i need your expert advice

You reused the two mount bolts, right? BMW says you must replace them, but of course they price them at $8 per bolt :/

@01123581321341

This looks like it would be sooo much easier to do if you did at the same time as replacing the rear shock….i.e you wouldn’t have to lower the arm or remove the bottom bolt from the shock. Just undo the e-bolts and lift the whole shock out with the old mount attached

@01123581321341

one lesson here - an impact wrench might be manly but not always a good idea…..
