86 10... Removing shock absorber from overrunning equipment: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2015 BMW 750i, 2015 BMW 750Li, and 2015 BMW 740i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check the overrunning equipment shock absorber while installed to ascertain whether it needs to be replaced.

Apply handbrake. Push in and pull out tow ball end by hand. If it is very easy to pull out the tow ball end, the shock absorber must be replaced.

NOTE: Complete disassembly of overrunning equipment and guide bush, refer to DISASSEMBLY OF OVERRUNNING EQUIPMENT .

Release screw (1) and remove. Pull out internal shock absorber (2) from opening in tow tube (3) towards rear.
