To change or not to change??

[initialM]

I wont change it until the ride like a boat..Cost efficiency..:4:

Some things like brake, suspension & tyre cannot be save unless u drive slowly.
Last time I immediate changed my absober after a fren totalled his E39. Feel lots of difference on new one:top:

initialM,
well said bro. my rear tires b4 changing abs only last for abut 20k km only.
i didnt realize my abs already konged bcos suspension already hard & tires wear so evenly.

Actually, what are the markings or label on the absorber that tell you it's a M-Sport absorber? I've always been curious to know this.

I have to say that the suspension is still ok, but I would like to have to change to new simply because I would like to have a like new car feeling. hehe. this intention have to wait for a month

What is your definition of a new car feeling???

M-Sport suspension rides firm and bumpy some people may mistake the abs already kong due to the harshness and the stiffness but it take corners like it's on rails and provide ample damping when taking full passengers without bottoming out ...

What's your current mileage?

Edit: Also do put in your 7 digit VIN number into www.realoem.com and you can get the part numbers

84k, as I said, it is not "kong" and I believe you would agree that a new abs will be better than an used one. Since I will be changing all the mounthing and bushes, arm and tie rod, I thought I might as well change the Abs. Will do full service, all oil change and new disc and pad and very importantly the vanos seal. Anyway, decision is now made otherwise. Many thanks to all

Gerald,
after abs + mounting/bushes etc, then don't forget ur power steering,
then only u can feel it.
doesnt mean to racun2 ni. just as wat i've done.
sabar bro, slo2lh.

Well in that case do keep us posted on the ride quality and performance once you finish everything :top:

p/s: i'm on poweflex for the front control arm bushing and it's been great so far ... You might want to investigate that option

Yap, will be there in the workshop tomorrow.
Bro Abuhasan, streeing rack recon is in the list. Tried to get a new one as I remember someone in the forum told me it is a world of different vs the recon, made many calls just to find out that there are no new ones available, just to share, inner power at 2700 in exchange of 200 for bringing in the old rack, Munich- no stock, BA quote 3200, further enquiry leads to the answer that it is only a recon unit from Germany.
