Hi guys,

One of my rear shocks failed today and so I’m sourcing parts so I can replace both rears.

I want to do a full job, but what I’m unclear on is what additional parts I need to do a full job of replacing them. I.e. the various rubbers and lower mount etc.

Could someone enlighten me please as to what I need? It’s a 2011 E91 325D and I’m wanting to replace both rear shocks and the various parts to go with it.

Any advice, much appreciated.

Thank you,

Dan

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help!

I take it you just order two of each then? Not handed or anything?

Thanks,

Dan

Yep, the dust cover kit comes as a pair, so you only need to order one of those. Then just two of everything else. I got the whole lot for £164 on autodoc.
Download the autodoc app if you haven't already, and I think the best deals can be had on Mondays (their prices fluctuate every day, a bit like euro car parts does). The only criticism is that delivery can take a little while sometimes. My order came within about a week, but recently I ordered some brake discs and they took what seemed like forever to arrive.

Hi,

Ace. I got the shocks from ECP for a decent price and the rear from AUTODOC. I just hope they arrive quickly! Going on holiday next week!

Thanks,

If you struggle to find SACHS part number (or it is not listed on autodoc), you may go directly to their website, they have dust covers, for example.
