When it comes to a E92 2012 bmw 328i xdrive coupe N52 do I need a lower shock mount or just an upper shock mount if I’m looking to replace all rear shock components

[@jamesyoung1172]

Thank you

FCP Euro has a video on a way easier way to replace them for anyone that doesn’t want to do way more extra work than is needed!

The description says that this video describes replacing Rear Shock Absorbers 2009-2013 BMW 328i xDrive. Not true. E9X rear shock absorbers don't mount like these. I wish they did. But the e9X rear shock absorber upper mount can only be accessed from inside the car. Lower mount is different than this video too.

[@adasterdezaster2865]

Those are not E90 rear shocks this isn't a E90 don't waste your time watching the video

[@jasun6859]

That is not how you do shocks

[@musclefactory9181]

Thanks!

You are not torquing anything, since you hit it with the impact tool and already bottom out each nut and bolt Torque wrench does nothing. And by the way, nice cross thread on the top bolt for the shock top.
