Does this rear damper come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This Ohlins rear damper is sold individually and is designed to use the original mounting hardware from your vehicle. It's recommended to inspect your existing hardware for wear and replace any damaged components during installation.

What is the advantage of a monotube damper design?

Monotube dampers generally offer better heat dissipation and more consistent damping performance, especially during spirited driving or when the suspension is working hard. This can lead to a more stable and predictable feel.

Should I replace both rear dampers at the same time?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace rear dampers in pairs to ensure balanced handling and ride characteristics on both sides of the vehicle. This part is sold individually, so you will need to purchase two for a complete rear axle replacement.

Product Details

If you're looking to restore the handling and ride quality of your 2006-2013 BMW 3 Series with rear-wheel drive, replacing the rear dampers is a key step. These Ohlins rear dampers are designed as a direct replacement for your original equipment, helping to bring back that responsive feel and control you expect from your E9X chassis. Ohlins is well-known for their performance suspension components, and these dampers are built with that reputation in mind.

These dampers feature a monotube design, which generally offers improved heat dissipation and more consistent damping performance compared to twin-tube designs, especially under demanding conditions. The internal valving is carefully tuned to provide a balance between sporty handling and a comfortable ride for daily driving. While they are a replacement for stock, they are built to Ohlins' high standards, meaning you can expect a well-built component that will perform reliably. The construction uses durable materials to ensure longevity, even with regular use. Installation involves replacing the original damper, and it's recommended to have a professional handle this if you're not experienced with suspension work, as proper alignment is crucial after installation.

When replacing rear dampers, it's often a good idea to inspect other suspension components like bushings and mounts for wear. This Ohlins damper is sold individually, so you'll need to order two if you're replacing both rear dampers. Ensure you have the necessary tools and safety equipment before starting the installation process, or consult your mechanic for assistance.
