[QUOTE="azan23uk, post: 10901, member: 8654"] Dear all sifus,Since the car is so damned silence (except for the muted engine note...nice!!) i can't help but notice there's a 'loose' sound from the front suspension when i go thru ripples on the road. My 528i is my first UDM thus I have no idea whether this is quite normal for an almost 8 yr old e39. Jacking the car a few weeks ago discovered the right steering tie rod's end has eaten up the rubber. The absorbers are however fine. My guess is this:1. Front shock mount less than perfect;2. Ball joints already due; or3. The worn steering tie rod itself.Any advice on this one? The steering feels fine for me...but this is my 1st UDM, so everything about the car is a huge improvement from my Waja & Unser. [/QUOTE]
