Replacing the Rear Shock Absorber Mount

Model: BMW X3 MK 1, E83 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Suspension system

If you hear a squeaking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle, specifically from the trunk, it is likely that the shock absorber support bushing is damaged: to replace it, you need to disassemble the shock absorber itself; lift the vehicle on a lift, remove the rear wheel and the mounting bolt of the shock absorber to the rear axle; then access the trunk and remove all side coverings to reach the shock absorber support; once you reach the shock absorber support, unscrew the mounting nuts and remove it from its housing; proceed to replace the support and reinstall the shock absorber in the vehicle.
