Front wishbone

[Silver]

Is there a strong version?? or just stick with OEM?

[Chaos]

OEM, use poly bushes if you want to upgrade it.

[Silver]

tanxs how much they are 100 each??

[Chaos]

The wishbone or the bushes? Bushes aren't anywhere close to that, speak to Royston, prolly under 100 quid for a complete set of bushes nevermind just the wishbone ones.

[Silver]

The stock BMW ball joints and bushes wear out quickly. If one goes, the others will follow very shortly. For the front control arm rear bushes you can use Powerflex polyutherane bushes. Much better.

However, when the outer ball joint wears out, it's usually a replacement wishbone as the ball joints are not sold separately. However, I will be trying these out. Just like the bush, the ball joint can be pressed out and be replaced with an uprated one. You keep the original wishbone. Much cheaper.

Or if you want to go hardcore, there's always THIS (http://www.ground-control-store.com/products/description.php/II=19/CA=103) version.

I sniffed it out myself ;)
Once upon a time, somewhere in the big wide world, there was a part made for a BMW that Nick didn't know about. 5 minutes later he'd found it.

The End.

:D

I have just fit new wishbones to both sides (last night in fact). I have been getting a lot of knocking from the nearside front and have changed the wishbone bushes to Powerflex ones and changed the drop links for new ones too. Still getting the knocking so decided to try changing the wishbones in the likely hood that the ball joints had given up on life. Ordered new wishbones from Bimmerworld as they actually do the wishbones made by Meyle with their uprated ball joints pressed in to aluminium arms.

They are excellent quality and worked out to be about £100 each with delivery and taxes.

The only problem is I still haven't cured the knocking problem and it is driving me MAD.....:mad: .
