In this video, Jake walks through his amateur adventure in replacing the front suspension and wheel bearings on his 2008 BMW 535xi (E60 N54). Being an AWD vehicle, the wheel bearings are a bit different than what you'd find on a RWD model. We replace the following:
Control Arms
Sway Bar Link
Struts
Ball Joints
Wheel Bearings
Wheel Hubs
