Is that TOP STRUT BOLT 22mm or 21mm? And are the 4.8is the same as the 3.0s?
I fit a 22mm socket over it on my 4.8 and it felt rather loose. Didnt feel snug as if its kind of too big and I needed a 21mm.

Sorry about that, when I looked at the BMP Design website it showed the 22mm tool applied to all E53s. Went and checked the 21mm (Part #133128 tool), and it shows all E53s too! Crappy data on tool application BMP Design!!!
Pulled my e-bay tool out to verify what I have, 21mm. Checked the Xs shaft nuts, 21mm, checked the KW Variant 3s I will be installing when my airride fails, 21mm. I went back to my prior post and corrected the data for future info searchers.

Ahh, I didn't think this thread would get this much feedback.
So I took the cheap way out and bought a used strut with spring to replace with. Mine was bent and my boss at work says it's fixable... i call BS on that part. heres the strut and lower control arm... I used a pickle fork to bang the control arm out...   [IMG]  [/IMG]

Look at you Alex, some real good ol redneck ingenuity there!
"If you're going to replace it anyway, who cares if it breaks on the way out!" I guess you might need to replace that control arm now too
