Thanks
i replaced my entire suspension with this kit https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...918piece-latmy

make sure you figure out if you have M sport suspension 1 suspension or regular. my 530i has M sport suspension 1. I also used a full kit from FCP for the front and rear struts as well. did all in one go, really brought back the new feel of the suspension and steering. all parts fit perfectly and there were no issues. The rear ball joints were a hassle to get out, hardest part of the whole repair.
