Looking for one problem and Found another
 

My newly acquired 2004 X5 has started to shift hard and I am seeing puddles under it. So I looked under it to see where the leak was coming from and noticed this...

The sway bar mounts are missing the bolts on both sides.

Does anyone know what size the bolts for the mounts are?

I believe they are standard M10 bolts.

And the missing bolts are fancy one time use torque+angle bolts. Should be 6 all together. You can find a replacement aluminum reinforcing plate on eBay.

wowsers......does your car go like this around corners? VV

It handles pretty well...but its a good thing that I don't race her.

What does this Plate look like? Does anyone have a picture?
