2019 530d M Sport with 133,000 km. As it comes to a full stop at a light or stop sign, the motionless car tends to rock back and forth horizontally, and after probably less than a second after a complete stop, the backward and forwards motion ceases. What does this behavior indicate? Are we talking worn bushes maybe?

How about shock absorbers?

Things that come to mind....

1. You need new struts/shocks.
2. You have one or more badly worn/disintegrated suspension bushing.
3. A control arm is broken. (unlikely, but still.)

Thanks for this advice. Much appreciated.
