Suspension refresh? What to look for?

mbanks21 · 04-08-2021, 05:14 PM

Coming up on 70k miles on my 2015 335 Msport. I have H&R sports, looking at Bilstein B8s. What other items should I do while I'm in there? RSMs? Sway bar links?

At this mileage everything should be fairly tight.
Check your thrust arm bushings to see if they are leaking or soft or cracked.
No need to change parts if nothing has play.

You can get Thrust arms with spherical bearing installed if you want, that will tighten up your steering.
