My 1 Series had a few suspension issues, I had a leaking shock (which was replaced as a pair and it was better after but not as good as how my e92 is) but was told the wishbone bushes were going also. I PX'd it in before doing this work so can't say but other than that everything was fine on this.
Currently running 0.1 bar above the rft pressure on the door card for the falkens. Do you think thats too low. My old man reckons even with new front alloys it wouldnt fix it. Surely when you take a car to the stealers there gonna try and rince you but in my case they said the power steering is fine. would have thought they would check bushes etc?? They said after test drive steering seemed heavy and it pulls to the left and f wheels were buckled.


Going to take your advice and get the tyres balanced again and go from there
