G31 530D Xdrive - Vertical Vibration - shock failure?

My 530d xdrive with integral active steering and VDC feels like there is a top strut bearing or shock absorber failed/failing - based on a sense of vertical vibration from the front passenger side wheel.


replaced all four wheels and aligned
car has been checked over by BMW and they cant fault


Has anyone else experienced this? It feels unsettled...

I had a similar issue and rechecked lug torques (101 ft lb). Solved problem on my 540. Had the same problem on the X5. After much complaining all 4 wheels and tires were swapped. Bent rim/rims.
