What did you do to / for your E53 today??
 

Lol. Unless you're driving a pre-runner with triple bypass shocks.....you cannot seriously expect to hit a curb at that speed and not do major damage, really?

Yeah I know it was a self inflicted wound.

:iagree:

probably need at least a new strut and tie rod end...if not a new inner tie rod end as well.

be hopeful the damage didnt tear into the rack itself...and was all absorbed by the tie rods and strut.

hopefully no control arm damage, considering the caster is ok, probably not.

did you just hit the curb with the front, or with the back as well? looks like from the camber on front/rear left that you probably jumped the curb on that entire side. might have a bent upper or lower control arm in the rear as there's nothing else really back there. hopefully you didnt tweak any of the suspension mounting points. that can get a vehicle totaled quick.

Yup yup I have a indy I go to. I might invest in new rim. Never like these anyways.

Hi to all
Today we finish to install on my x5 e53 4.4i front drilled disk brake rotor 385mm with 6 piston brembo calipers and on the back side brembo 4 piston calipers with original disk.Big big difference on the brakes.
Thanks:bustingup:rofl::thumbup:

The kit for the E53 has always been a 8 pot front
E70 is 6 pot
