Rear wheel carrier

Post by Welshman » Sat Nov 14, 2020 2:37 pm

Does anyone know if there were different wheel carriers on the E53, I have purchased a secondhand one from abroad and the control arm wishbone Bush does not sit the same as on my car so can’t fit the circlip

Can I still use this wheel carrier?
Any advise welcomed

Only one part number for each side showing right through production. Could be accident damaged?

Same part numbers on all models on RealOEM.

If you can’t fit all the parts correctly then it probably isn’t safe.
