BMW Shocks & Struts for BMW 3 Series E91 (2006-2012)

Rubber mounts in any position of a vehicle are usually designed with comfort and longevity in mind leaving performance as a sacrifice. This kind of sacrifice here at Turner just won't do, so we did what we do best and designed a solid monoball mount.

Our engineering team first wanted to tackle the issue with wear found on rubber mounts. Due to their combination of steel, rubber, and low mounting location, these mounts are a direct target for deterioration and failure. As they are positioned out in the open and exposed to the elements, bonded steel and rubber components inevitably hold moisture, separating as the steel bearing begins to rust. Our solution was to offer a rebuildable mount with a Teflon lined bearing for increased durability, combined with a blue anodized body and melonite coated bushing sleeves for corrosion resistance.

The performance side of these mounts is primarily found in the articulation allowed by the bearing. Rubber mounts do not allow for proper free damper movement, hindering shock performance. By eliminating the deflection found in factory rubber mounts and allowing full shock articulation, this solid monoball design eliminates slop and maximizes shock efficiency and performance, allowing for more predictable handling on the street or the track - with almost zero added noise, vibration, and harshness.

Replaces OE part #: 33526768544

Replacing your struts and shocks? Don't forget the bushings! The rubber mounts for the shocks will go bad over time, especially if you drive hard or the roads are particularly rough. The shock mounts locate the front struts and rear shocks to the car - providing a quiet and vibration-free buffer between the road and the cabin. Shock mounts and bushings can wear out just like any other rubber part on the car. This leads to more noise and harshness reaching the chassis and may complicate your new suspension install. When installing new shocks, that is the perfect time to also replace the mounts. There is no additional time to install them, no special tools required, and doesn't take any extra time! If you re-use the original mounts you have the risk of them failing before your next shock replacement, doubling your labor costs.

If you're installing racing rear shocks with a spherical bearing end you will need this adapter mount for the top of the rear shock. Spherical or rod-end bearings are common on race shocks but they are somewhat universal and mounts are not usually included. We designed and engineered these mounts for our E9X M3 and E90 328i IMSA/CTSCC racecars. Our cacing upper shock mount is machined out of aircraft grade aluminum with a tough anodize finish and high grade hardware. Due to the wide variety of spherical bearings and rod-ends found on race shocks, the bushing kit is sold seperately (see chart for bushing sizes).

The rear bump stop support cup is an essential part of your suspension system, positioned at the top of the rear bump stops to provide a stable mounting point and ensure optimal suspension functionality.

With prolonged use and exposure to demanding driving conditions, these support cups can experience wear or damage, which may compromise suspension performance and overall ride quality. Replacing worn support cups helps maintain the reliability and effectiveness of your suspension system.

Located on the underside of the vehicle, this mount is a critical suspension component that pairs with the upper mount inside the trunk area to securely anchor the suspension system. Together, they help absorb vibrations, reduce noise, and maintain a smooth, controlled ride.

Over time, exposure to road debris, moisture, and everyday wear can weaken this mount, potentially causing increased noise, diminished ride quality, and compromised handling. Replacing a worn or damaged mount is essential to restore suspension performance and maintain vehicle stability.

Protect your suspension system and shock absorbers with this premium OE replacement bump stop from Bremmen Parts. Designed to prevent bottoming out, this essential rubber component safeguards your shocks from damage that could lead to costly repairs.

Over time, the original rubber construction can become damaged or go missing, compromising suspension performance. Replace your worn or missing bump stop to maintain optimal suspension operation and prevent unnecessary wear.

Note: One bump stop is required per shock absorber. For best results, replacement in pairs is recommended.
