Front Shock Absorber Replacement

Model: BMW Z3 MK 1 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Shocks

Remove the wheel and undo the nut that secures one end of the shock absorber to the vehicle's chassis. First, secure the entire suspension arm assembly to prevent it from falling during the operation. Position the vehicle on a ramp and remove the retaining pins from the suspension arm cover. Undo the bolt that secures the shock absorber to the arm using an 18 mm ratchet spanner and remove the worn suspension. With the appropriate equipment, compress the spring to allow the worn shock absorber to be removed and replaced with a new one. Attach the new shock absorber to the base and then to the chassis. Conduct a road test to verify proper operation.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
