Rear Left Shock Absorber for BMW X5 and X6

FCS 346180L is a suspension shock absorber for the rear left position on select BMW X5 and BMW X6 models. It is built around the listed compressed length of 15.35 inches, extended length of 19.17 inches, and 3.82 inches of stroke to match the required suspension travel for the application.

Key Features

  • Part number: 346180L
  • Rear left suspension shock absorber
  • Compressed length: 15.35 in.
  • Extended length: 19.17 in.
  • Stroke length: 3.82 in.
  • Fits BMW X5 and BMW X6 applications with the listed suspension equipment exclusions

Fitment Details

  • Fits 2008-2014 BMW X6, rear left, w/o Sport Package; w/o Self Leveling and Electronic Suspension.
  • Fits 2007-2013 BMW X5, rear left, w/o 3rd Row Seating (Exc. Electronic Self Leveling and Sport Suspension).

The FCS brand line focuses on replacement suspension components for service and repair applications. For BMW X5 and BMW X6 owners, 346180L provides the rear left shock absorber configuration needed for vehicles that do not use the excluded sport, self-leveling, electronic suspension, or third-row seating setups listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

  • Restores rear suspension damping after shock wear
  • Addresses excessive bouncing or unsettled ride behavior
  • Helps correct rear-end instability over bumps and uneven pavement
  • Replaces a leaking or noisy rear left shock absorber
  • Supports proper rear suspension control on BMW X5 and BMW X6 models

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s suspension equipment before ordering, especially sport package, self-leveling, electronic suspension, and third-row seating exclusions. Confirm the rear left position and compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original part before installation. Professional installation and a post-repair alignment check are recommended whenever suspension components are replaced.
