I don't know? My shop did the installation...but I can check this myself by replacing the bolts with new ones and do a test drive if anything improves. You say; "two bolts"... but I only see one bolt with number 3. Do you by any chance know the torque settings of these bolts when installing new ones, or where I could find this value?exdos wrote:Just a thought: in the parts diagram below, have the two bolts (numbered 3), which attach the shock absorber to the wheel hub been replaced with new bolts when the suspension was fitted? If not then that would be my first point of suspicion. BMW uses self locking bolts which lose their grip if reused and these particular bolts are on TIGHT and take some shifting to undo. Unless these bolts are gripping as tight as they should be then this will give you some rattling - ask me how I know?
First thing tomorrow I'm going to order these bolts with BMW.. Thanks for the tip! Any more....? Just shoot
