I did find a low cost high quality OEM type bearing that would work with a M3 replica arm. Price would go for about 350.00 retail for a set now but i am not getting into making parts for little pay back. If you want the drawing and CAD files for the oem arm i did a few years ago then PM me but it not goign to be cheap to make one set.

No evidence of rubbing on the spring or toe arm. Looks like there's enough clearance by this pic. Rod end bolts are torqued to spec. I think it's just that the spherical joints transmit more of metal sound and road noise to the cabin. Thx for the offer but that's over my head/budget. My oe links are going to another member who's looking into replacing the oe bushings w/HD bearings..
