e39 Parts and Maintenance Cost

[bmw7833]

If the ori fan belt cost only RM168, then how come Bazet replaced the fan belt + a/c belt for RM528? The a/c belt cost RM352? :43:

I replaced my fan belt for RM65 and a/c belt for RM24 (bought from BA).

I agree your point, nothing beat ORIGINAL parts.

If you want to lower your cost of replacement, both the front lower arms can be refurbished (bushings & ball joints) at Titan at Pandan Mewah (Richard). As for other items, you can opt for OEM instead of original.

TITAN manufacture their own absorber. Don't think Richard will repair yr leaking absorber.

Guys, lately my car has been making sound whenever passing thru uneven roads, and the steering also lost the firm feel of it.

What happened? my wild guess are:-

1) Steering rack
2) Absorber bush (lower arm?)
3) Worn spring

Advice appreciated!

4) Absorber mounting
5) Tie rod end

4 and 5 is cheaper solution, 1 is the most killing price, don't think 3 is the cause.

Agree with bmw7833, item 4 and 5 need to be checked if worn out..also check the stabilizer link (as told by my mech)..good luck bro

4 absorber = RM 2000, but new absorber is so hard. Is it normal?
