Yes, if you have 130k on your car, I would replace them. They are probably not dead yet, but by 160k or 100,000 miles they will be. |
Just had a quick look on eBay and for what they cost it would be silly not to replace the inner ones. I will leave the swaybar links as they are for now. Eventually I will be getting new shocks/springs and might decide to lower or maybe fit an M3 ARB... I'll do it later. Arms and tie rods will do for now. Any idea if I can remove the inner tie rod without a special tool? Will I be able to get in there just with a spanner? |
If you decide to lower it, get the Bilstein B12 kit. You will need to get adjustable sway bar links if you lower the car. Hotckiss makes a great kit for front and rear.
