As it says, the rear bushes that join the subframe to the body of the car need done.

I've looked at the various posts on how to do it, which is fine enough, however there is a poly bush set for the x5 ...

I'm just wondering whether the x5 shares the same rear bushes as the rr ... They look very very similar. V8 or else ...

This post is a bit old but I could do with the same question being answered please ! 2009 - L322 5.0 S/C Autobiography

As to your question I don't know but as a word of warning I put poly bushes on my p38 two different sets and ended up replacing with oem it does change the ride and handling - in my case it was too harsh - probably great for offload -sure someone will disagree

Yep I understand regarding poly-bushes

The BMW X5 E53 tool is listed on Ebay £60 yet no mention of it suiting an L322

I need to replace my subframe bushes and anything to make it an easier process is appreciated - lol 2009 - L322 5.0 S/C Autobiography

The Sealey tool for doing X5 bushes fits the L322 perfectly as do X5 bushes (although there are some very slight differences in the Meyle HD ones that mean the lower washer simply has to be manually centred, rather than there being a moulding on the bush - doesn't seem to make any difference). I did mine earlier this year. Drives:

2010 FFRR TdV8 Vogue SE - Zermatt Silver

The rear subframe rear bushes on our late 2006 l322 are also kna»» **ered.
Which age range of X5 use compatible bushes?
It's a job I'll need to do sometime early next year. Paul,

+1 ... I wish I had known that years ago. I essentially sold my old RR cause of the job of doing the rear subframe bushes ( it was 1 job too many, too big ) as I didn't have the right tools.


I'll know this time round ! V8 or else ...

I thought you made a tool to do this fisha ? .

I kinda did ... but never fully finished it. It was all just one job too many at the time. It didn't help our son had just arrived, and strangely, the wife thought that I ought to spend my time fixing nappies than the car ... .  V8 or else ...
