I’ve just done this job, if you use an 18mm Offset ring spanner on the shock nut and a 6mm Allen key there’s no need to remove the shock absorber, simply push it down to provide clearance.

Just did it like you suggested. It was easy to do and saved me time, thank you.

Great job. Thank you for sharing this DIY. Just ordered two spare parts for left and right.

Great video! Do you know if the front strut bump is necessary for 335i models with M Sport Suspension?

@dopus1 Год назад

can deflating the rear air springs be done instead of using a jack to hold the suspention? I only have one jack, but I do have ista diagnostic tool(that can deflate the airsprings)

@hosuandreiremus Год назад

Yes. That can work and it is probably safer to do than what I did. Let me know if there is a function in ISTA that lets you release the pressure in the suspension.

@leakypj Год назад

@@hosuandreiremus just loosen the nut to the airlines in the compressor and they will deflate

@neilmi80 Год назад

⁠@@hosuandreiremuses there is and also remember to remove the air suspension fuse otherwise the compressor will kick in and re-inflate it. Just watch any of the airbag replacement vids and it shows which ISTA function and which fuse

@SaravananRajavikraman Год назад

Is the Shock absorber cover necessary to be replaced? Mine is also broken

@hosuandreiremus Год назад

It is there to prolong the life of the shock absorber. You dont want rocks and salt sprayed on the shock all the time as it will perish the seals and wil start loosing fluid.

Is this front or rear. I am looking for front replacement video.

@hosuandreiremus Год назад

This is for the rear. I have not done the front as it was not needed.

@petikan Год назад

@@hosuandreiremus I managed to replaced front shocks. I didn't have to completely remove the circular arm support on the top. Just had to remove one bolt at the front side to allow the lower arm to go down further and it was easier for the shock to come out. But have to make sure the alignment of the shock, spring pads and top hat are correct.
