Front struts/shocks on the F22, F30, and F32 with Adaptive M Suspension are mounted to the chassis with this front upper strut mount. It's a dense rubber mount that also incorporates a bearing that allows the strut to rotate as the steering changes. Over time the rubber breaks down and the bearing wears out and the entire mount should be replaced.
Only for cars with optional Adaptive M Suspension (option code 02VF).
Important! This is the 3-bolt strut mount that fits cars made up to approximately 12/2014. Cars made after 1/2015 use a 5-bolt strut mount. If your 2015 model year car was built in 12/2014 or 1/2015 we recommend counting the number of bolts to verify.
