Report: Front Tension Strut Bushings May Fail
BMW 740i Problem
Model Years Affected: 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001
Average Mileage: 107,680 mi (2,000 mi - 200,000 mi)
The front thrust rod bushings—also referred to as tension strut bushings—are known to fail occasionally. The oil-filled rubber mounts weaken and crack over time, causing a mushy road feel and shuddering in the steering wheel when going over bumps. These worn bushings should be replaced.
