My E34 front right absorber seems to have this scraping noise when I am going over bumps at a 45 degree angle. But the funny this is it only happen when I go over a bump or incline at an angle, if I drive straight onto the bump, there is no noise. Have checked the suspension components (i.e upper & lower arm, bushings, tie rod, etc) and all seems ok so I suspect could be the absorber. Anyone come across this symtoms before?.TIA... to all the sifu's.</p></blockquote><p></p>
