I think some of the front suspension needs a refresh - it can be quite clonky over speed bumps (although not always), I was thinking drop links etc but any thoughts welcomed.

Mine isn't occasionally it's constantly

I've bought this lot but still sat in the house

I can't promise when but I'll let you know when the job is done and what difference it made



It'll be the main front thrust arm ball joints that have failed; they're tight and look fine, but when you remove them they'll probably be loose and sloppy...

The E39s and F1x/F0x range suffer the exact same issue
