Front Suspension Shock Absorber Struts (M Sport - Pair) – BMW 3 Series G20 (19–26)

SKU: 31316888455
R 4,950.00

The Genuine BMW Front M Sport Suspension Shock Absorber Strut Pair is a factory-matched pair of performance-tuned gas-pressurized twin-tube front damping struts engineered specifically for rear-wheel-drive (RWD) 7th-generation BMW 3 Series models (G20 Saloon & G21 Touring). Calibrated exclusively for the factory M Sport Suspension (Option Code S704A), these struts feature firmer compression and rebound valving to deliver a ~10 mm lower ride height, reduced body roll, and enhanced high-speed directional tracking compared to base luxury suspension setups.

Sold as a balanced driver and passenger side set, replacing worn or leaking factory M Sport struts restores original chassis responsiveness, eliminates front-end float under hard braking, and ensures proper tire contact geometry. Each strut features precision-machined lower pinch-clamp bases, reinforced sway bar end-link brackets, and top piston rod threading tailored to fit factory M Sport spring perches and upper guide mounts.

Part Positioning & Component Breakdown:

  • Front Left Strut (Driver Side LHD / Offside RHD): OEM Part Number 31316888455 

  • Front Right Strut (Passenger Side LHD / Nearside RHD): OEM Part Number 31316888456

  • Structural Assembly Interface: Welded sway bar stabilizer end-link bracket tab, brake hose clip holder, and lower steering knuckle pinch collar locating key.

1.Vehicle Preparation & Wheel Removal:Safe elevation and hub support.

Safely raise the front of the vehicle on a two-post hydraulic lift or heavy-duty jack stands. Remove both front wheels. Support the lower swivel bearing / steering knuckle with a hydraulic jack to take tension off the brake lines and ABS wiring harness.

2.Linkage & Knuckle Disassembly:Disconnecting end-link, wire brackets, and pinch bolt.

Unbolt the stabilizer sway bar end-link from the strut body bracket. Unclip the brake line, ABS wheel speed sensor wire, and pad wear sensor harness from the strut brackets. Remove the lower steering knuckle pinch bolt holding the strut base.

3.Strut Removal & Spring Transfer:Spreading collar, top mount unfastening, and spring swap.

Insert a steering knuckle spreader tool into the rear pinch seam to expand the sleeve collar. In the engine bay, remove the plastic strut tower covers and unbolt the 3 upper strut mount bolts. Lower the strut assembly out from the wheel arch. Secure the assembly in a spring compressor, compress the M Sport coil spring, unbolt the top piston rod nut, and transfer the spring, upper guide mount, dust boot, and bump stop onto the new M Sport strut (31316888455 or 31316888456).

4.Reassembly & Four-Wheel Alignment:Torquing fasteners to spec and alignment.

Guide the new strut assembly up into the strut tower, loosely thread top bolts, and slide the lower strut base fully into the steering knuckle pinch collar. Torque the lower pinch bolt, sway bar link nut, and top tower bolts to factory specs. Reinstall wheels and perform a full 4-wheel laser alignment to reset toe and camber parameters.
