BMW i3 Rear Strut Top Mount – Left / Right
This rear strut top mount sits at the top of the rear shock absorber on the BMW i3 and isolates suspension noise from the body. The left and right mounts are different heights, so choose the side you need from the options. These mounts do not have a ball bearing.

Each side is a Febi part from the bilstein group: rear axle left is Febi 103505 and rear axle right is Febi 103462.
