I had my left rear shock blow out somewhere around 30,000 km on my '09. It was replaced without drama under warranty. A couple of months ago, I noticed similar oil spotting on the same spot on the driveway. Sure enough, the left rear was gone again. Sitting with over 85,000 km and over 4 years...

Did my March oil change today, and once again the splash shield is soaked in power steering fluid. Same hose that started leaking after the recall was performed. I took it in for reinspection, part not in stock, so brought in again to install a new hose. I suspect they put a gouge in the hard...

After much delay, I finally had the power steering recall done on my 5 in May. Later, when I did my oil change at the end of July, I noticed the splash guard was covered in oil on the passenger side. Ok, sloppy mechanic, whatever... (rolleyes). I cleaned it down, and wiped the power steering...

I don't know how common this is, but on our 5, the "B" pillar door seal on the front edge of the sliding door lost 2 clips. I am fairly sure that certain family members (who shall remain nameless) grab the door there, instead of using the handle when opening the door. Anyways, the dealer had the...

I just replaced my front motor mount which was completely shot, but as I suspected it was not the only noise I have in the front end. The swaybar end links are also clunking, but to my surprise the swaybar bushings seem to be okay. The stock bar seems to measure 21.5mm, but I don't see a lot of...

Anyone on here install an AWR front engine mount (auto or stick, doesn't matter) BEFORE they shredded their stock one? My front one is actually starting to clunk on rough pavement, so I need one soon. Found one at a wrecker nearby for CDN$45, but if anyone can better that I could really stand to...

Does anyone have a pic of a good set of stock engine mounts off the car (side view). I know my front mount is shot, but the side mount (timing belt side) looks like it might be gone too. I was also wondering if anyone with the AWR (or any other kind) mounts replaced/reused the damper on the...
