Smooth out the ride and keep the tires planted with the Focus Auto Parts Suspension Shock Absorber 341610, a rear-position damper that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2002 BMW Z3. It bolts into the factory rear suspension mounting points to control spring oscillation, so the suspension settles quickly instead of continuing to bounce after bumps, dips, and stops.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number 341610.
Fitment: 1996-2002 BMW Z3.
What vehicle does this shock absorber fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2002 BMW Z3. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.
Is this a front or rear shock absorber?
It is cataloged for the rear suspension position on the listed BMW Z3 model years.
What does a shock absorber do?
It dampens the up-and-down movement of the suspension springs so the suspension settles quickly and the tires stay in contact with the road.
What are the signs my shock absorber may need replacing?
Excessive bouncing after bumps, nose dive under braking, a floaty ride, or cupped/uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both rear shocks at the same time?
Replacing shocks as a matched pair is a common best practice for balanced ride control. This listing is for one shock; order the quantity your repair requires.
