Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented shock absorber operates in the front suspension area on the right side, responsible for controlling wheel movement and limiting body roll during braking, acceleration, and cornering. Precise fitment to the geometry of the BMW E87 front axle allows for maintaining factory handling characteristics without the need to modify other suspension system components.

The placement on the vehicle is clearly defined as front – right side, which facilitates the selection of the correct component when replacing a single shock absorber or completing a pair for the axle.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

The shock absorber has been developed as a BMW OE part, which means maintaining operating parameters consistent with the vehicle manufacturer's factory specifications. The construction is adapted to the standard BMW E87 suspension, allowing the component to work seamlessly with original springs, top mounts, and other suspension strut components.

The product has a dedicated OEM part number and assigned replacement numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific car configuration. In practice, this means it can be installed directly in place of a worn-out part without interfering with the body structure or changing mounting points.

Condition, functionality, and service application

The offered shock absorber is a used item, which allows for an economical suspension repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, replacing a single damaged component, or optimizing service costs in older BMW E87 models.

Replacing the front right shock absorber is recommended when symptoms such as excessive body sway, increased braking distance, uneven tire wear, or knocking in the front suspension occur. Using an original component helps restore the proper operation of the suspension system and vehicle stability.

Benefits of using an original BMW shock absorber

• Factory fitment to the BMW E87 front axle geometry.
• Consistent damping characteristics with other suspension components.
• Direct installation in place of a worn-out shock absorber.
• Reduced risk of improper vehicle handling after repair.
• Economical solution while maintaining OE specifications.
