Broken rear spring on '14 535xd
Obviously need new springs...thinking I'll do both strut/shocks while I'm at it.
Any opinions on which brand(s) to go with/what to avoid? Dealer says I need the following parts (BMW numbers, of course): REAR SPRINGS 33-53-6-794-654 UPPER SPRING PAD 33-53-6-775-751 LOWER SPRING PAD 33-53-6-856-172 REAR SHOCK/STRUT 33-52-6-789-379 REAR STRUT MOUNTS 33-50-6-863-299 Sachs for the strut? Some folks are saying Sachs 314-877 while ECS has the Sachs with the same number as the BMW. Lemforder for the strut mounts? I'd love to hear if anyone can confirm 314-877 and THIS are the same. ECS also has TRW...but I've read that they're not as good as the Sachs. I've also read a few that say Bilstein while others say to stick with Sachs. Other than these 2 components, I don't see many options outside of BMW-branded parts. |

Interesting that you'd add those...
Were you having additional issues that coaxed you to do that, or just changing out everything while you were working in the area?
I'm seeing the link arm and lateral arms, but wasn't thinking of those, per se. For reference, I'm using this parts diagram to explore: |
