Replacing Rear Suspension on BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Shocks

Removing the rear suspension from a BMW 3 Series? Let's go through the disassembly process. Lift the car on a column lift and remove the wheel. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the mounting bolts of the shock absorber (at the top and bottom). Open the trunk and remove the cover on the side. Unscrew and pull out the shock absorber from its housing. Insert the new shock absorber into its housing and first tighten all the bolts at the top of the shock absorber, then secure the bottom to the wheel hub. Reinstall the wheel and the cover in the trunk.
