Help restore the controlled ride and handling of your BMW with the SACHS suspension strut 315312 (P/N 315 312). This front strut is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, the 2007-2013 BMW X5 and the 2008-2014 BMW X6.
A strut dampens spring motion to help keep the tires in contact with the road, and it also serves a structural role in the suspension. Signs a front strut may need replacing include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, extra body lean in turns, fluid leaking from the strut body, or uneven tire wear. Have the suspension inspected to confirm the cause before ordering. If a worn strut is behind the symptom, this unit replaces it. Replacing both front struts together is recommended so damping stays even from side to side.
