Vehicle Application and Placement

The presented shock absorber is dedicated for installation on the front right side of the vehicle. It is responsible for damping vibrations from road imperfections, stabilizing the body during braking, and maintaining constant tire contact with the road. A correctly selected and installed component in this position directly impacts steering precision, braking system effectiveness, and driving comfort.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The shock absorber belongs to the original BMW line, meaning its geometry, operating characteristics, and mounting points are compliant with manufacturer requirements. The part has an assigned OEM part number and related replacement numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with the specific suspension configuration of a given car. This allows for precise component matching to the vehicle, minimizing the risk of installation issues.

It is important to pay attention to compliance with the vehicle manufacturer's designations and the placement on the vehicle – this model is intended exclusively for the front right side, which is significant for both safety and the durability of the entire suspension system.

Function in the Suspension System

The front shock absorber in a BMW is responsible for:

• controlling the suspension spring's movement and limiting body roll,
• stabilizing the driving path during acceleration, braking, and cornering,
• reducing vibrations transmitted to the body and steering system,
• maintaining adequate wheel contact with the road surface, supporting the operation of ABS and traction control systems.

A well-chosen BMW front shock absorber ensures predictable vehicle behavior, improves driving comfort, and reduces wear on other suspension components and tires.

Condition and Benefits of Choosing an Original Part

The offered product is in Used condition, meaning it comes from an operated vehicle. Choosing an original BMW part from this group helps maintain the suspension's original operating characteristics, proper fit with mountings, and compatibility with other system components. This is a particularly beneficial solution for repairs where preserving the vehicle's original driving parameters is crucial.
