I'm wondering if there is a conclusive way of determining the need to replace the front left and right traction struts on the 98 E38. Sometimes called lower control arms.
Symptoms described are usually a shimmy or wobble in the steering wheel, uneven braking, and steering looseness.
It makes sense that these parts could cause some of these symptoms but other worn steering components could also.
Can the wear be seen or felt by hand like in the case of tie rod ends or are there other symptoms which point directly to these parts??
Perhaps a complete front end physical exam is in order?
Thanks,
