"high quality, rebuildable, easily serviceable rear shock mount"
About Rouge Shock Mounts
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,
therefore requiring a replacement.
Because of poor design and extensive abuse, stock BMW rear shock mounts often
fail with the inner metal sleeve separating from the rubber bushing. Usually,
this ends up in the form of squeaking, rattling, clunking and deflection
of the rear shock mount, leading to poor suspension performance and a great deal
of annoyance.
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 style mounts fail.
