Help bring back the steady, controlled ride your BMW was built with using the SACHS suspension strut, part number 317570. It installs at the front left position as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2005 BMW X3 and the 2007-2010 BMW X3. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
SACHS engineers its shocks and struts to help restore original handling dynamics and designs them to meet high safety, comfort, performance and quality standards.
A suspension strut dampens spring oscillation and helps control body movement. In a strut-type suspension it also serves as a structural part of the suspension assembly. Signs that a strut may need replacing include continued bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, increased body lean in turns, fluid leaking from the strut body, and uneven tire wear. Some of these symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the suspension before you replace parts. Replacing struts in pairs across the same axle is commonly recommended for balanced handling.
