Struts

How much do new struts cost?


I think my struts are gone (thus the self-level suspension light).

When I shake my e53 side to side it makes a creeking noise in the back right tire well.

Not visibily but I'll put it on/take it off.....


That being said I noticed that the noise was coming from the back wheel well on both sides it seems.

It might just be the rims need to be retorqued

I also started checking ALL the fuses and so far all are still good.

Could be your ball joints. I had a squeaking going slow over speed bumps when the car slid a little sideways.

Well even if I pushed down on it myself it did it---ball joints aren't too expensive.

Looking at my wheel well now. There's a pressure sensor here that we found under a tight box.

There's a blue sensor thing on both the back wheel whells. One looks in rough shape with greese.

The others dry and clay is falling from it.

Nm, that was for the brakes. Anti-lock or the dsc.
