Your vehicle is equipped with a number of suspension parts that are designed to give you good control, handling abilities, and a smooth ride. One of the responsibilities of your suspension system is to dampen spring oscillation after your car passes over road imperfection. This job may be performed by your shocks or your BMW 318I struts.

Some vehicles are equipped with both shocks and struts, while others have just shocks or just struts. Most car manufacturers today use only 318I struts, since they have been proven more effective at stopping the bouncing motion of your springs. You will find your BMW 318I struts mounted inside your coil springs.

It is important to ensure that your struts are in good shape, because when your car is allowed to continue bouncing after a bump, your tires may lose contact with the pavement and your handling abilities are going to be decreased. You could lose control of your vehicle when you turn a corner or make a sudden stop with worn 318I struts. Some of the signs of failing BMW 318I struts include rolling or swaying, squatting during acceleration, diving while braking, and bottoming out over hard bumps. You can also visually inspect your 318I struts and associated parts for damage, and if you find dents on the strut body, pitted piston rods, crushed bumpers, or worn rubber mountings, feel free to visit our online catalogue and order high-quality replacement struts at great discount prices.
