He quoted me about $400, I don't have the exact amount right now but I found the entire arm for on average of $100. It has two bushings; I believe one is a "ball joint" and the other is a regular bushing with rubber in it. Instead of guessing which bushing it could be or messing with pulling out the old one and pressing in the new, I just bought the whole arm from ECS Tuning BMW manufactured. So I replaced it and it all seemed to turn out great but as I continued driving my car, some vibrating came back, nowhere near as bad as before, but what could it be now?
I apologize for the long story but I figured I should include some details to help understand my problem.
Following is my DIY for the Front Thrust Arm replacement. Hope it helps and thanks in advance for your help.  |
vibrating in the string wheel can easily be a tie rod. Here is my DIY FOR control arms.
