YMMV depending on your tools/equipment.
Using air tools makes this a fairly simple procedure.
Read the DIY referenced by Photonic above.

Hmm.. I get a TON of squeaking too.. but I'm hearing from the rear end not front end.. guess I'll have the shop take a look at the swaybar

Trooper,

Very easy DIY. Make sure you have a tourqe wrench . Tighten the nuts securely then tourque the nuts with the wheel on the ground. I did mine in one afternoon, approximately 1 hour each side.

Hey Guys,
I'm having this problem, but the sound is only coming from the drivers side. Do I need to replace both sides, or is it okay to just replace one side? Also, should I go aftermarket, or buy from BMW parts store?

Greg 03-23-2009 12:23 PM

Go aftermarket. Try partsgeek.com or Ebay.

Just replace the one that's got play.
