Rear suspension items

[ktteoh]

folks, with reference to realoem URL, my suspension don't have parts #5 & #6 - what do they do?

will having these parts (rough suspension model) give me increased ride height and less negative camber (better for rural roads in malaysia)?

Well, it does say:

FOR VEHICLES WITH NATIONAL VERSION EASTERN EUROPE

...for every application of that part number, none of which are North American versions.

I dunno, never seen them in any of the rear shock assemblies I've worked on.

#5 (adapter) was not required when I changed mine according to the dealership as i went in to check what I'd need, and the old mounts didn't have it when i took them off. (Euro 535i by the way).

#6 is actually a spare one of the three bolts that are tacked onto the mount itself... They sell them as spares so if one breaks off the mount you can replace it without buying a whole new mount and therefore save £££.
