BMW E60 Strut Replacement – 2004-2010 5 Series – Sedan/Touring wagon ↗
Front strut replacement on the E60/E61 for a front end that bottoms out with a bone-jarring thump. The required-parts list pairs new struts with fresh strut mounts and bump stops, so the whole top end is renewed while the strut is out.
Tools mentioned: Spring compressor, sockets, torque wrench, jack stands
Linked to the front bump stops ('additional shock absorber, front'), which the guide lists as required parts.
