What exact year and model of E60 is this BMW? My E60's front thrust control arms does not have ball joint spindle's attached. So clearly this E60 is not the exact same vehicle as my E60 which is a 528xi (North American)

It’s because yours is 4 wheel drive. This is rear wheel.

It was hopeless to even try to twist the 22mm nut on the ball joint end in order to release it; they were "welded" (corrosion) together after so many years. Fortunately, there is enough space for an electric angle grinder, with which I cut off a part of the nut. Then I hit the remaining piece with a hammer and so it dropped down.

My car (2008 535xi) apparently has a ball joint that is separate from the control arm which I believe is hard to remove. Any insight on this would be appreciated?

No torque wrench?
@autodocuk7 жыл бұрын
You are absolutely right. All the main bolt connections must be tightened with a torque wrench. This video is considered to be an informative one, so it just shows the sequence of repairs. Best regards, Autodoc.
