Bilstein 12-224319 B1 Upper Damper Mount and Bearing Plate for BMW 7 Series E65 E66 E67 2001 to 2009

Give your 7 Series the tight, quiet and precise front end it deserves with the Bilstein B1 upper mounting kit, part number 12-224319. This OE-spec rubber metal bearing plate sits at the top of the MacPherson strut on the front corner and keeps steering response crisp while filtering out unwanted noise and vibration. Ideal when refreshing suspension or installing new shock absorbers, this is the reliable, long-life solution BMW owners choose for a factory-fresh feel.

We use this part in-house at MJ Modifications and our customers consistently praise the fit, refinement and durability. If your saloon has developed creaks, knocks or vague steering, replacing the top guide support on the front axle is a proven fix that restores confidence and comfort.
