3-series Strut/Shock Mount Kit - E46 (not M3, not xi)

Product Details

This mount package contains all of the commonly replaced rubber mounts and pads for the front and rear shocks on a 1999-2005 E46 3-series (not for M3 or xi AWD). While you're installing new front struts and rear shocks these are easily installed - there's no additional labor and special tools are not required. Since these pieces are mostly rubber, they dry up and crack over time. Re-using them lead to problems with fitment or noise, and may have safety issues as well. These mounts and pads are the perfect complement to your new shocks to help restore your car's handling and performance.

Pick and choose from the following mounts below:

• Front strut mounts (also known as the guide support)
• Front strut reinforcement plates (to prevent cracking and deforming of the front strut towers)
• Front and rear self-locking mounting nuts
• Rear Lifetime Warranty 'Repair Shop' shock mounts
• Rear shock mount reinforcements (to prevent cracking of shock towers)
• Rear shock mount gaskets
• The spring pads, dust boots, and bump stops can be added from the menu below. Note that front bump stops and dust boots are generally not required if you're using Bilstein struts, Bilstein coil overs, H&R coil overs, or KW coil overs. Those struts come with their own front bump stops and boots and may include rear stops and boots as well.
  
  We offer three varieties of the rear shock mounts - OEM, Repair Shop, and HP alum-rubber. We recommend either the Repair Shop or HP mounts because the stock OEM design has a flaw that can lead to premature failure of the mounts. The Repair Shop and HP mounts use a different design that will last longer and the Repair Shop mounts also have a lifetime warranty!
