Show original supplier description
The BMW Genuine Parts 31311091269 is a direct replacement left front spring strut for specific BMW E36 models, designed to maintain the vehicle's original ride quality. This genuine BMW part is built to stringent standards, ensuring reliability and long-lasting performance. This spring strut is compatible with a range of BMW 3 Series E36 models from 1991 to 1999, including the 318i, 320i, 323is, 325i, 325is, 328i, and 328is. Specific fitment details, including convertible, coupe, and sedan submodels, along with engine designations and notes on sport suspension, are provided to ensure accurate application. It is crucial to verify fitment for your specific vehicle. When replacing suspension components like strut assemblies, it is highly recommended to replace them in pairs to ensure balanced performance and handling. Per BMW recommendations, the bump stop must also be replaced when installing new strut assemblies. For a complete installation, FCP Euro also suggests installing new strut mounts. Symptoms of worn strut assemblies can include noise over bumps, abnormal tire wear, vehicle wandering, poor steering response, poor handling, and a harsh ride.
