BMW X3 Shocks & Struts

Shock absorbers are engineered to convert kinetic energy into heat. While doing so, they dissipate the forces appearing when the wheel hits an obstacle and also dampen the undesirable oscillations of springs. What lets them do their job is the cylinder filled with a viscous liquid and the piston that attempts to move through this liquid. That is how, in brief, the energy conversion process occurs. What can go wrong here? As a fairly simple hydromechanical device, a shock is fairly reliable. Its weakest point is the sealing that prevents the liquid from leaking out.

Susceptible to normal wear, sealing fails relatively quickly. When it does, the liquid starts to leak almost instantly making the device unserviceable. After that, you’ve got to buy new shocks. That’s because the majority of such devices are non-restorable. How long the replacements will serve depends directly on where you drive your BMW X3 and how good the quality of the parts that you install is. In our BMW X3 shocks & struts store, you will find upscale equipment that is designed to offer a long service life while still providing a good value. These shocks are made to OE specs to offer the factory level of ride quality and driving dynamics.
