Front Tension Strut Bushings May Fail on BMW 525i
Problem overview
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.
