Fresh Suspension for the 4.6is
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 10:05 pm
Just a few pics of my new suspension install whilst my X5 is off the road....
I decided to fit all my new shocks this weekend that I'd bought about 18 months ago that I kept forgetting I had.

I had purchased new Bilstein shocks together with Eibach lowering springs, fresh Sachs bump stops, covers, top mounts & Febi bearings for the front end and new Sachs shocks, bump stops, boots and top mounts for the rears.
Assembled all the struts..
I know it's 'only' an old X5 but I couldn't help but protect my new springs..




Sand blasted the brackets, bolts and nuts and gave them a quick paint in satin black and then fitted everything.





Then had a test fit of my new 22" LeMans alloys that I need to either refurb myself or get powdercoated

Looking forward to getting it back on the road again now.
