BMW X3 Front Strut Replacement DIY (2003-2010 BMW E83 X3 3.0, 4.4, 4.8s)

►If your BMW X3 has become bouncy and soft over the years, it’s likely because you need a strut replacement. Struts control the up-and-down movement, damping the bump and ruts you drive through. As they wear, they lose their ability to control suspension forces, leading to a much more numb steering response.

Replacing your own control arms isn’t the most challenging job out there, and it can save you a bit of money. Follow along as Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro’s Professional DIY’er, tackles a front strut replacement on an E83 BMW X3.
