Review on ๐Ÿš— DEDC Rear Air Suspension Spring Assembly: BMW X5 X6 E70 E71 E72 - 2007-2012 by Joseph Long

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great alternative to OEM

I bought two to replace worn out air springs on my '08 X5. After reading the reviews about it, I decided to give it a try. Installation would have taken 10-15 minutes per side if one of the springs hadn't caught on the lower arm. Since the car was on jack stands, I didn't have enough leverage to push it. I ended up having to remove the spring and file the part that engages the lower control arm. I had to lower the car and force the compressor to inflate the spring hoping it would engage. The bag was inflated but crooked. It wasn't until I jacked the car back up, deflated and re-inflated that they took shape and worked well. OEM the. I recommend it as a great inexpensive alternative.
