That’s what I am thinking... some type of impact, especially based on how the suspension handled. My first thought was if it was missing the belly pan structural support, but low and behold it was there. Also thought struts could be switched (angle of the bolts) but can you even install struts wrong? Unfortunately the vehicle has a decent interior and has had the heads replaced at the dealer (some time ago) so VSS have been handled. But with the suspension issues, transmission weak (170k), and some other typical X5 troubles (headlights, door handles) it’s just too much of a project.

... unless I can get it for a crazy deal ��
