Installation summary

Replacing the Sachs rear shock absorber on your E90 3-Series requires intermediate mechanical skills and can be successfully tackled by a competent DIYer in about two hours. You will need standard hand tools along with spring perch compression tools to safely manage the rear suspension assembly during the swap. The most crucial detail to watch out for is that these units are not compatible with factory sport suspension packages, and a proper rear wheel alignment must be performed immediately following the installation to restore correct handling geometry.
