For the BMW X5 chassis, RUVILLE offers a diverse product portfolio that was nearly completed with the introduction of suspension struts for front and rear axles. During repair work, both general as well as specific procedures have to be followed for the respective components. Vehicle-specific mounting instructions: For some chassis components and for the wheel bearings in the BMW X5, specific mounting instructions have to be followed. These are described in more detail below. The applicable articles are highlighted in grey on the table. BMW X5 CHASSIS General mounting instructions: In general, replace all self-locking nuts. Replacing the screws is always recommended. After working on the chassis, it is always advisable to measure the axles; in the case of some repairs, it is also mandatory. The springs of a BMW X5 have a very high spring force – approx. 18,000 N (compared with a VW Polo, 6,000), therefore, an appropriately designed spring compressor has to be used. On vehicles with pneumatic suspension, the system has to be deactivated and evacuated for certain jobs. On vehicles with a steering angle sensor, the sensor has to be recalibrated for certain jobs.
