SHOCKS/ESA

BMW ESA suspension units were never intended to be rebuildable for service, there are no O.E parts available for these shocks from the manufacturer. Bear in mind BMW only warranty the life expectancy of their shock absorbers to 30,000 Miles. It is sometimes best to just bite the bullet and go for a ESA replacement damper unit like the TRACTIVE ESA UNIT which are rebuildable.

We can install a TRACTIVE Shock for Approximately Half the Price of a New BMW unit as they are designed to be rebuildable. We offer diagnostics for ESA faults please fill out our online contact form for further information & we will get back to you.
