Rear Shock Absorber for 2000-2006 BMW X5 - Sachs 311 233

Help bring back the controlled, comfortable ride your SUV was built for with the SACHS shock absorber, part number 311233. This rear unit is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 BMW X5 when the original rear damper has worn out.

• Engineered for original handling: SACHS engineers its shocks and struts to help restore the vehicle's original handling dynamics.
• Built to high standards: Designed to meet the highest standards for safety, comfort, performance, and quality.
• Application-tuned valve: Valving tuned to the specific application gives SACHS dampening characteristics that pair longevity with comfort and control.
• Everyday road conditions: Intended to deliver comfort and control across the varied road conditions a vehicle sees.

As a suspension shock absorber, this part damps the up-and-down movement of the springs and body, which helps keep the rear tires in contact with the road. Signs a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, a floaty or wallowing ride, fluid leaking from the shock body, and cupped tire wear. Other suspension faults can cause the same symptoms, so inspect the suspension before replacing.

Replacing SACHS rear shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle is recommended so both sides damp evenly for balanced handling. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and trim details.
