Verify the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and metal blade attachment style before installation. This part is listed for BMW 318i and BMW 320i seat backrest adjustment use, so confirm the existing strut matches the E30 chassis closed-eyelet style noted in the fitment data. Inspect the seat mechanism for wear or binding before replacing the strut.
