Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 I know this'll be a basic question for you guys, but I have no idea what that strut attached to the top of the suspension does. Anyone able to inform me? My E39 certainly doesn't have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) I know this'll be a basic question for you guys, but I have no idea what that strut attached to the top of the suspension does. Anyone able to inform me? My E39 certainly doesn't have one.Do you meant the strut brace ?It helps to keep the front of the car rigid by supporting the two strut 'towers' which helps in cornering etc. Im sure there are plenty who can give you a better description Edited September 21, 2006 by martyyn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 Thanks, Martyn, I thought it must be along those lines, but really- it could have been a place to dry out their stash for all I knew.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 705 Report post Posted September 22, 2006 Wow Jazzbass, thought you would have come across one of thoses before in your years Strut braces are pretty good if your drive relatively hard. Oil breather: Does the stock system have no breathing? ie sealed? If not then i doubt this would do anything bar bling. If they are sealed then would you want to make such a massive change like that, when the manufacturer could do it at no cost? I know nothing... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted September 22, 2006 I know nothing... Its a good sign of maturity. The older we get, the more we realise how little we really know. Only the 17yo know everything... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
