Shock Absorber BMW E36 3 Series Std Suspension Front Right is designed for the front right side bonnet suspension of BMW E36 3 Series. Verify fitment with your vehicle before purchase

Shock Absorber BMW E36 3 Series Std Suspension Front Right is designed to support and control the bonnet’s movement on the right-hand side of BMW E36 3 Series models. This part absorbs and dampens forces when opening or closing the bonnet, ensuring smooth operation and preventing abrupt impacts or unwanted vibrations.

As a front-position bonnet shock absorber, this component is essential for maintaining the bonnet’s stability and usability. It typically fits the right-hand side, so confirming the side before purchase is crucial to match your vehicle’s setup. Buyers should compare the shape, mounting points, and side orientation of their current shock absorber to confirm compatibility.

While this unit is catalogued under bonnet shocks, it is specific to BMW E36 3 Series models with standard suspension on the front right side. It does not include any additional clips, sensors, or mounting hardware unless explicitly stated, so consider the needs for those when planning installation or replacement.

  • Right-hand side placement for front bonnet support
  • Function: controls bonnet opening/closing action
  • Suitable for BMW E36 3 Series standard suspension front

For exact fitment details or replacement parts, comparing the existing shock absorber’s side and position is recommended before ordering to avoid incompatible purchases.

If this repair may need matching clips, brackets, lights, panels or more than one part, check Renault Kwid RHS Front Shock Right, Quick Repair Bundle or Request a Part before ordering.
