BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003

How do we know when our swing arm needs to be changed? simply by following these simple steps: Once the car has been raised, we proceed to remove the wheel to reach the part we are looking for in an easier way. Once the rim has been removed by simply shaking the arm we could check if it is loose or if there are any play, in which case it is advisable to replace it and avoid further stresses. Another important element to verify the correct suspension camber is to check the regular wear of the tire.
