Note: Sold individually
The E46 front strut towers are notoriously weak. This reinforcement plate comes from the poor road package and artificially adds another layer of metal to reinforce the strut mounting point on the chassis. If you drive with fresh suspension components at standard ride heights you likely won't have an issue. However, the problem can occur with performance suspensions and this is where these reinforcement plates can help you prevent expensive damage to your E46. Blown shocks and stiff suspensions will cause the sheet metal to pop up due to more energy being transferred.
Note: Can be placed into mounting location and do not require welding or special installation procedures.
Suspension Strut Mount Reinforcement
The suspension shock mount is a component that secures the shock absorber to the vehicle's chassis or body. It helps connect the shock absorber to the vehicle while allowing for the necessary movement and cushioning of the suspension system. The shock mount is typically made of metal and rubber, providing both strength and flexibility to absorb vibrations and shocks from the road.
Suspension Strut Mount Reinforcement Failure Symptoms
- Clunking or Banging Noises: A worn or damaged shock mount can cause clunking, knocking, or banging noises, especially when driving over bumps, potholes, or rough roads. These sounds occur because the shock absorber is not properly secured to the vehicle, allowing it to move or rattle.
- Increased Body Roll or Bouncing: A failing shock mount can prevent the shock absorber from doing its job correctly, leading to excessive body roll when cornering or increased bouncing when driving over bumps.
