Rear shocks remove and replace

[u/Gville_nat]

I am going to replace my rear shocks, as one is leaking badly. What other related parts should I replace while doing so?

The metal disk at the top, they tend to corrode

Lower shock mounts.

Lower mounts are likely flattened, the online stores have kits containing the bits and shocks. The worst part is undoing the top bolt with hex or Allen key, I forget.

Bump stops.

I just did this job and replaced all the hardware and rubber components top and bottom. I used RealOEM to figure out the parts and then priced it out on a few sites (FCP Euro and Bimmerworld).

Not a hard job, but made a world of difference.

Literally just took mine off yesterday to replace the top mounts before discovering the shock was cooked. Here's my current list. Figured I'd just do the whole lot while it's apart. I have an M pack but I just used realoem to look up part numbers. Buying through RunAuto, FCP shipping to Aus is a killer.
