I splurged on a TIS membership for the day and I came away with this question...

Although shops are doing spring installs for pretty cheap, it seems very rare that any shop outside of a dealer will replace these bolts or reindex the bushings for the new drop.

I haven't seen these steps mentioned in the MSS or any one else DIY video/instructions. No wonder BMW charges what they do since they go by the book procedure and time which does seem to have its benefits.

How important are each of these steps? Admittedly, as kids working on cars I never knew what a torque spec even was let alone a TTY bolt or indexing a bushing. "Very snug" seemed to get us by.

TIS is quite the source of info! I even went to the jacking section where it clearly states the use of the rear differential as a jack point. No mention of caution due to the fins or anything.
