SACHS Shocks and Struts are intelligently engineered to restore original handling dynamics while designed to meet the highest safety, comfort, performance and quality standards.

SACHS products have the best dampening characteristics with an application-tuned valve pairing longevity with superior comfort and control for vehicles in any road condition.

Features and Benefits:

  • TwinTube Design
  • DURABILITY - Micro-Polished Chrome Piston Rods: SACHS micro-polished chromed piston rods have been hardened for maximum strength to provide the longest service life. Our chrome finish helps fight rust while the low-friction surface effectively prevents seal leakage.
  • COMFORT & PERFORMANCE - Banded Piston: Our engineered polymer piston band immediately responds to suspension movements even at slow speeds. The piston band effectively seals the working cylinder allowing the valves to operate at 100% efficiency. Valves with a banded piston can be finely tuned for specific vehicles to consistently provide the intended comfort and performance.
  • OEM TECHNOLOGY - Low Friction Seal: SACHS advanced seal technology uses a special NBR rubber which is highly wear resistant and can withstand temperatures to 260 degrees F, keeping oil in , and contaminants out. Engineered with low friction movement in mind, out design helps maintain tuning characteristics.
  • PRECISE TUNING - Sintered Metal Valves: Our high quality valve design enables precise oil flow by using sintered metal valves. Tight tolerances and strength from sintered metal allow for precise tuning of compression and rebound rates that restore the original handling dynamics.
  • Endurance - Polished Working Cylinder: SACHS working cylinders are drawn to precise dimensions and polished ultra-smooth to prevent piston band wear. Our technology permits close tuning tolerances while reducing friction and heat for the utmost endurance.

Product Information

If your BMW's ride has lost its quality (bounces over bumps, suspension noises, handling degradation, etc) it may be time to replace your shock absorbers. The most common sign of a failed shock absorber is when you can find noticeable leaks. Less common failure signs are play within the shock shaft and body of the shock.

Per BMW is it required to replace the bump stop when installing new shock absorbers. Additionally, FCP recommends replacing shock absorbers in matched pairs as well as replacement of the shock mounts themselves.

Suspension Shock Absorber

If your suspension is feeling "bouncy" or "loose" it can likely be attributed to blown or worn shock absorbers. The purpose of shock absorbers is to dampen the recoil of the coil spring as your travel over dips and bumps in the road.

Suspension Shock Absorber Failure Symptoms
  • Noise from front end over bumps
  • Squeaks
  • Leaks
  • Poor Handling
  • Harsh ride

About Sachs

ZF Sachs AG, also known as Fichtel & Sachs was founded in Schweinfurt in 1895 and was a well-known German family business. At its last point as an independent company, the company name was Fichtel & Sachs AG. In 1997, the automotive supplier was taken over by Mannesmann and renamed Mannesmann Sachs AG. As of 2001, Sachs belonged to ZF Friedrichshafen as a subsidiary company ZF Sachs AG. In 2011, ZF Sachs, like other Group subsidiaries, was legally merged with ZF Friedrichshafen AG and the independent business units integrated into the ZF divisions. Sachs has since become a brand of ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
