Thanks ard & robnitro.

I did a pretty through visual inspection of all of the rear suspension bits on both sides. I even took close up flash photos with my iPhone for parts/angles I couldn’t easily reach/see. Both sides look the same. But the top of the shocks are hidden, where the upper and lower guide supports and bump stop fit up into the bump stop sleeve.

So today I think I’ll start by removing the right rear shock to get to see if it or the guides etc. are obviously shot.

Has anyone installed beefier shocks (e.g Bilstein Sports or Koni’s) on a E70 35d with stock 18 in wheels? Did you enjoy the results?
