Sachs Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:556 214
Help keep the back of your BMW settled over every bump with the SACHS shock absorber, part number 556882. It is a direct-fit replacement for the rear of the listed applications, including the 1992-1998 BMW 318I, 1996-2000 BMW 328I, 2001-2005 BMW 330I, and 2001-2006 BMW 325CI. SACHS engineers its shocks and struts to help restore the original handling dynamics, and designs them to meet its highest standards for safety, comfort, performance, and quality.
A shock absorber controls spring movement by resisting suspension travel. This damping limits bounce and body motion as the wheel moves over the road. Signs that a rear shock may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, rear squat under acceleration, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing, because other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.

What are signs a rear shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, rear squat under acceleration, fluid leaking from the shock body, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can cause similar symptoms.
What does an application-tuned valve mean?
SACHS tunes the shock's valving to the specific vehicle application so that it balances longevity with comfort and control.
Should rear shocks be replaced in pairs?
Replacing both rear shocks together is generally recommended. This keeps the damping matched from side to side for balanced handling.
