Front Shocks: Notes
The front shocks are designed as twin-tube gas pressure shocks, similar to the E46. The lower end of the damper is inserted into a cylindrical sleeve on the swivel hub. The damper bracket determines the correct orientation of the damper; the bracket slides into a machined slot in the swivel hub cylindrical sleeve and is secured with a pinch bolt. A label is adhered to the damper for side identification.
The top mounts attach to the body with three studs and are replaced as a complete assembly. There is no provision for adjustment of the camber at the front top mounts.
