Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle configuration before ordering. This front strut is listed for BMW X5 models without Electronic, Self Leveling, and Sport Suspension, and for BMW X6 models without Sport Package and without Electronic Suspension. Confirm mount type, compressed length, and extended length against the original unit before installation. After replacement, a professional alignment is recommended to restore correct suspension geometry.
