So today I refreshed the entire front suspension of the X5 to include ball joints, thrust arms, lower arms, sway bar links, H&R sport springs, and new sachs front struts. Surprisingly the original struts have are still charged and work well. The strut mounts were cracked and thrust arm bushings. I am glad to change all of these because two of the lower arms and ball joints were cheap in china grade components. yuck!!!!
