Shock Absorber for BMW X5: Forged Aluminium
This shock absorber for the BMW X5 is specified around forged aluminium, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is documentation that arrived after the container shipped, or inconsistent hardness between lots. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Fitment notes
Keep the old part until the new one is on the bench. Comparing them side by side settles questions a photograph never will.

Questions buyers ask
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SGS documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SGS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
