Installation Notes

Install in the rear upper forward suspension position only. Verify the mounting-hole spacing, bushing orientation, and vehicle application before installation. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners as needed, and perform a professional alignment after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests suspension components under extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt-spray testing. That validation supports consistent OE-style performance for BMW rear suspension service.
