X5chemist will become famous soon enough
Every time I see a hitch, I want one for mine.

After 800 miles on the front suspension refresh/oil pan fix, the X5 started a clunking noise. I knew it was somewhere in the suspension. Sounded like strut noise. During the front giubo replacement, I checked all the strut bolts. Nothing was found. The clunk did get quieter. On Thursday, I remove the wheel again and checked everything else. Sure enough, the front thrust arm had a bolt loose. It was allowing the strut to move too much. I managed to get a 21mm wrench to tighten it. I did the best I could without removing parts. I'll check it again after a few hundred more miles. If it feels loose, I'll take off parts to reach it better.
