The new rear shocks arrived this afternoon and I installed them. No joy. The clunk stayed the same

I've used the time waiting on the shocks to search for info on replacing the rear axle carrier bushings. There is plenty of info & tools for E53s and other BMW models. But I found no info or tools for replacing the rear axle carrier bushings on an E70.

Please post if you have any info on replacing the rear axle carrier bushings on an E70. For example, does the tool used on E53 bushings work with the E70?

p.s. The old shocks were not “preloaded” — I easily removed them off without jacking up the rear. But the new Biilstein B4s required raising the rear end so the tires were off the ground.
