If you do this yourself, take note of something not mentioned, but kinda shown. When you tighten the inboard bushing part of the arms... you MUST preload the wheel to about ride height before you torque to spec, or it will almost immediately destroy the bushing the rubber bushing.

Really disappointed they didn’t say anything about it, I’m really glad I knew that before hand

Final torque should be done with the car being on all fours...reduces wear

Was it just me or did you add copper grease on bolts? like an anti-seize? 3:20
Doesn't this affect tightening torque?

[@autodocuk]

Unfortunately, it is not possible to answer your question unambiguously, you can find out this information in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.

[@joshedet791]

would this be the same process for 525i & 530i?

[@autodocuk]

We do not have such information, we recommend that you consult your mechanic.

[@zesiot6221]

jakie są obiawy uszkodzonego sworznia wachacz , prosze mi powiedzieć

[@autodocuk]

Witamy, typowe objawy uszkodzenia sworznia wahacza - zauważalne luzy na tym elemencie zawieszenia. Luzy te są z reguły wyczuwalne, a czasem też słyszalne w postaci stuków i hałasów dobiegających z okolicy koła podczas jazdy.
