    looking for used lower control arms

    Has anyone reciently changed their lower control arms on their e30 (not ix or M3) and have the old ones still hanging around and they have not thrown them out?

    I am looing for a used set that are not bent, I will pay for shipping and some cash for your time. If the ball joints are shot it's ok.

    Thanks
    Tom

      A while back I purchased the inner and outer ball joints. (now after reading more most recommend just replacing the arms). However, since I have the ball joints and I can't return them I figured that I would give it a shot at replacing them in a set of arms.

      This way if I screw them up I haven't messed up the set that is on my car. (Which probably are actually OK anyway, however, since I don't know the mileage on the car I would like to do them)

      I figured if I can get a set that some one is getting rid of I could give it a shot. I have a hydraulic press and half a brain so I like to give it a go.....

      I also plan on powdercoating them before pressing in the new ball joints..

          I have 2 that have shot ball joints. They are in the bottom of my garbage can but they are all yours.

              Tom, I did balljoints only on mine. 25,000 miles later all is still fine.

              Next time though, new arms w/balljoints. Easier, cheaper, done.

              What CABs?
