My Ride: 2006 White 530xi
I just picked up a 2006 530xi with 88,xxx miles, took it to my indy for an oil change and an inspection. It has been making a quite alot of noise, seeming coming from the left front end of the car. When going over any type of rough pavement at low speeds, its as if the entire front end seems to be falling off the car. My indy said we needed to replace the left and right lower control arm bushings, so we did. The front end still seem to be jolted over bumps and makes alot of annoying noises. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks Chris

My indy has found worn out sway bar end links, so they are to replaced on both sides. I'll let you know if it solves this horrible noise. Chris

Well, the sway bar end link bushings didn't elimanate the clunking noise, so my indy is installing two new front struts. I'll let you know how it all comes out. Chris
