The 29-241668 shock absorber is part of this line, offering a monotube design that supports consistent performance under various driving conditions.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific BMW X5 or X6 model year before installation. The shock absorber mounts with a stem on the upper side and an eye (10.4mm) on the lower side. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid premature wear. Since the boot is not included, inspect existing boots for damage and replace if necessary to protect the shock absorber shaft.
