So I took my new 530d for two new rear tyres yesterday.
When they lifted the car up and the weight of the wheels was hanging on the struts/shocks, the front left strut fell completely out of its mount and the wheel was hanging at a 45 degree angle!
I had just driven 1700km with the car like this, which just scares the S**t out of me, especially considering that through the karoo I wasnt exactly doing 120 km/h.
They managed to get the strut back in place and lower the car, and obviously the weight kept it in place. I limped the car to my Mechanic and he will assess it today.
Any of you heard of similar issues?
