what ball joint and control arm bushings to get

[shibbYbiMMer]

hey guys...i need a ball joint and both control arm bushings. I was going to get geniune BMW parts since I work at the dealer, but in order to do so I must buy the entire control arm with the ball joint on it. are there any aftermarket ones that you could recommend...or what about stuff on bma? thanks!

if you want rubber control arm bushings, go with the E30/E36 M3 offsets. they are little more expensive but they last longer and improve geometry. as far as brands, stick to lemforder and only lemforder.

Yes. but if you must go with a brand other than Lemforder then I recomend Lemforder.

You should replace the entire control arm anyways. At a discount for working at the dealer it shouldn't be that expensive.
