Front Left OEM Strut, Sachs - E36 318i/is/ti Base

This E36 318i/is/ti front strut is a direct replacement for the original. Sachs is an original equipment supplier to BMW for shocks, struts, and mounts so this is a direct replacement to restore the original ride comfort and handling. While we offer other shock brands that are more performance-oriented, if you prefer the original BMW ride and handling this is the best choice. Note: this shock is not recommended if you have shorter springs installed.

Front struts should be replaced in pairs so order a left and a right. New mounts, dust boots, spring pads, and bump stops are sold separately. 

This is an OEM front strut manufactured by Sachs - an original supplier to BMW for this part, as well as many other suspension components. As the OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
