Torque the bush bolts at ride height with the wheels on the ground, not with the suspension hanging in the air. Then book a four wheel geometry, because changing an arm moves the camber and the toe and a month on the wrong toe costs a set of tyres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDampers are the one place on this page where the cheap option is genuinely worse and you will feel it, so buy OE supplier. Arms, links and track rod ends are fine as premium aftermarket. Bushes are where the decision matters: the front control arm rear bush is the part that fails and the part that most changes how the steering feels, and it is the one position where polyurethane is worth having.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bavarian Spares","offers":[{"title":"3 Series E90 E91 E92 E93","offer_id":58819825926408,"sku":"BVS-SUC-002-E9X","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Series F30 F31 F34","offer_id":58819825959176,"sku":"BVS-SUC-002-F3X","price":64.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Series E87 F20 F40","offer_id":58819825991944,"sku":"BVS-SUC-002-1SR","price":54.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Series E60 F10 G30","offer_id":58819826024712,"sku":"BVS-SUC-002-5SR","price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1064\/1037\/7480\/files\/Front_Control_Arm_with_a_Ball_Joint_in_Premium_Aftermarket_fa149774-5a09-4bde-bf2c-3be04e5f9375.jpg?v=1790088855"}],"url":"https:\/\/bavarianspares.com\/collections\/under-100.oembed","provider":"Bavarian Spares","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
