2021 X7 xDrive40i Air Strut Replacement
Hi all! I was quoted $3600 for rear left air strut replacement. The part itself is $2400 from the dealer. Unfortunately, my warranty explicitly says that it will not cover the strut. I bought it used and paid for an extended warranty. After shopping around, this is the best quote I got (from Eurotech). I had foolishly thought that once I got this “top tear” warranty, I was not going to have a lot that it wont cover. Unfortunately for me, the first issue I have is not covered. Now is this something I can do on my own? Can I replace the air strut by myself? What are my options? Is there a good service reference book or video I can use?
Edit: if the air strut is leaking, is it true that I will soon have a burnt out air compressor if I don’t immediately fix it?
