    Cool 2006 X5 3.0. suspension issues

    Gadget here. New to the forums. I have a 2006 X5 3.0. Hoping to gain some insight on a suspension issue that seemingly developed overnight after having the control arms (bushings were torn) replaced. There's a distinct rattle/popping sound on the left front and am being told that the best guess is a strut mount. I'm not a fan of guessing or throwing parts at a problem just to see what sticks. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so what resolved it for you? Mea culpa if this isn't the right place for this question.

Hoping to gain some insight on a suspension issue that seemingly developed overnight after having the control arms (bushings were torn) replaced. There's a distinct rattle/popping sound on the left front when driving over rough road surfaces and bumps, and am being told that the best guess is a strut mount. I'm not a fan of guessing or throwing parts at a problem just to see what sticks. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so what resolved it for you? Sorry if this isn't the place for this question. I thought maybe some fellow E53 drivers might have some insight. TIA
