Why change rear shock mounts?
The rear shock mounts on all 1984-2007 3-series/M3/Z3 are known for premature failure, particularly when used with an aftermarket suspension.
Initial indicators of failure is a “clunking” sound which will eventually lead to complete mount failure... and even damage to the sheetmetal of the shock mount tower, requiring expensive bodywork repair.
While various bearing and urethane alternatives have been devised, many of these are only sufficient for racecar use due to increased noise, vibration, ride harshness, and short service life.
The "ultimate" solution comes directly from Meyle, the manufacturer of many of BMW's original components. Their "HD" (Heavy Duty) version features a revised conical center section that makes it virtually impossible to push through (see cutaway picture above). The result is a durable, quiet, and trouble-free mount at a reasonable cost.
Included in our kit:
* Meyle HD mounts
* the required BMW gasket
* all necessary hardware
* stainless steel reinforcement plate for the shock tower mounting hole which strengthens the sheetmetal as a precaution against expensive sheetmetal fatigue-related failure.
Complete kit includes all the parts required for one car installation.

No more clunking noise
From mikehd of Lebanon, Oregon on .
I had installed another aftermarket RSM about 5 years ago. About 6 months ago a loud clunk started in the left rear. Got these RSMs and no more clunk. Hardest part of the install is getting the darn trunk liner peeled back!
Do it maing!

Part is absolutely awesome, it is a cheap insurance to your suspension upgrades that might cause damage to your can in the long run...eliminated the clucking at the rear...
