How to properly install springs in BMW F30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 80!
Hello, fellow car enthusiasts!
This video shows the stock front springs for BMW F30, 31, 32, 34, 35, and 80 vehicles. We decided to make this video after another service station technician installed the front springs incorrectly. A unique feature of stock springs is that they are not marked as being up or down, and the top and bottom sections are very similar.
Because of this, mechanics who rarely work on BMWs and don't follow TIS instructions often install the springs upside down.
As a result of this installation, the spring is not aligned correctly, and the upper coil presses on the plastic support bearing and boot, causing deformation and damage! Incorrect spring positioning in the shock absorber strut causes creaking and knocking sounds when turning the steering wheel or while driving. We'd also like to remind you that the stock rear springs are also unmarked and easy to install incorrectly. However, this installation has no consequences because the upper part of the rear spring is only 2 mm wider than the lower part and is mounted in a soft rubber support.
