Say goodbye to rear end clunks! With the
introduction of the Rogue Engineering Rear Shock Mounts, you have a high
quality, rebuildable, easily serviceable rear shock mount. Fits the following vehicles: Rogue Engineering Rear Shock Mount Set
includes: Problems with Factory Mounts Because of poor design and extensive abuse,
stock BMW rear shock mounts mounts often fail with the inner metal sleeve
separating from the rubber bushing. Usually, this manifests itself as
squeaking, rattling, clunking and deflection of the rear shock mount,
leading to poor suspension performance and a great deal of annoyance. Replacing
the RSM's with OEM units provides temporary relief, but invariably they fail
again, usually in 20K miles or so, but often MUCH less when aftermarket high
performance shocks are used. Rogue Engineering Rear Shock Mount Features Other important details include the use of 303
stainless steel components (compressions washers and spacers) for long-lasting
corrosion resistance. All other hardware is either Grade 8 or better, treated
with a yellow zinc plate, again for corrosion resistance. Protection and Quick Installation/Removal Additionally, the reinforcement has its
hardware welded to it, allowing for the rear shock mount to become a
bottom-mount design. This means that if the rear shocks need to be removed, it
only requires removing the two nuts and the single bolt at the bottom of the
shock. Once installed, there is no need to completely disassemble the
trunk area to gain access. If being used with a rear strut tower brace,
the reinforcement assembly may be mounted from the bottom, so that the rear
shock mount can be secured in the traditional manner. The Rogue Engineering Rear Shock Mounts are
designed to be used with standard 10mm rear shocks, but can also be used with
12mm adjustable race shocks with the use of optional washers.
The factory BMW rear shock mounts are generally a little soft, to provide
the most possible acoustically dampening in the vehicle. However, design
precludes them from being stout enough to withstand the rigors of aftermarket
suspension, or even badly damaged roads. A decent sized pothole can send a
perfectly good factory rear shock mount to pop out, making it entirely useless
necessitating replacement. Upgrading to E46 M3 rear mounts (a popular
alternative) is not a guarantee that it doesn't happen again and again.
By producing a rear shock machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, we are able attain a
more stable, and stiffer platform which to mount the top of the rear shock.
However, rather than use race-only spherical bearings or even overly stiff
urethane bushings, we specify Shore A 65 hardness rubber bushings (approximately
30% stiffer than the factory bushings) to allow for some level of street
comfort. The orientation of the bushings makes it impossible for the bushings
to "pop out" in the manner which the factory mounts fail. If required, the
bushings are also replaceable, when the time comes to rebuild them.
Another feature is the reinforcement assembly which secures the rear shock
mount to the vehicle. By reinforcing the top of the shock tower in the vehicle,
it protect against the rear shock from ripping out the sheet metal.
