guys I tired everything suggest on this old thread, double checked the washers and torque specs on the front suspension and it is all good. I'm trying to find a resolution.

old thread: http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,57/page,viewtopic/t,346220/highlight,/

I have purchased another set of strut mounts and wanted to know if I can jack the car up, loosen strut from the top and pull the strut down. replace the strut mount and push back up? Or do I have to separate the ball joint to get this done?

Do you have stock springs? If so this makes things harder. If you dont you can essentially unbolt the Sway bar end links and loosen the strut mounts and you're set. If you do you are in for some work cause the springs need to be compressed. Have you had a toe alignment done?
