Hi Pistonheads,

I changed the rear shock absorbers on my wife's BMW Z4 a week or so ago.

Recently we've noticed that the traction control warning light sometimes comes on, usually under mild acceleration and cuts the power momentarily. This is on a dry road, and it's only the 2.0. The wheels are definitely not spinning.

I replaced the shock absorbers with pattern parts from Sachs which I bought new from Ebay. Obviiously, the recent shock absorber change could just be a coincidence though.

What should I check?

Thanks!
