Front Wishbones

[shimmy]

outer balljoint has gone (so arm needs replacing - you are saying with BMW not lemforder!)

i think it comes with inner replaceable ball joint if not i will replace and also rubber mount circular (7) above on diagram

Lawsy/Matt does that make sense and if not what would you do?

The wishbone is complete Shim, inner and outer ball joints are integral.

Its only the rear bush and housing which are seperate-( item 7) these are the ones Matt was showing can be upgraded.

If the price difference is not much go BMW, 2 years warranty.

I just find the ECP stuff not quite as good, fine for a road car, but on yours I would go BMW.

We fit the ECP Lemforder stuff everyday, its not bad stuff If I am being honest, it just doesnt seem to last as long as Merc OE stuff. But its warranted and they replace it no quibble for us.

The BMW stuff might be different?

yes advice at weekend was that 88k miles may be a bit too late (although this is my second arm already!)

If the previous arm was fitted by BMW less then 2 years ago then in theory it should still be covered by BMWs own 2 year warranty :thumbs:
Worth checking your extensive :whistle: history file Shim

Hi,

Your either running a sloppy jalopy for
road use or its tight to be right,
for the Track.

No point in having semi race suspension
[Intrax/Nitron ?] with agressive settings
and then shaking it all to bits with
comfy wishbone bushings.

If you could only see how fast your
standard wishbone is moving around under
braking etc.

Put the Uprated Bushes in and buy
a comfy cushion for the trip to
and from the Track.

All Slags [Track] go much better the Stiffer it is.


Regards,

The Gorilla.

Lemforder is the oem,the wishbones i got for my stock M3 just had the BMW name scratched off.

Yes because ECP had them reconditioned to a lesser standard than the BMW stuff.

Trust me on this one Brett
