I simple spray a shit load of chain grease on the busing. Did nothing the 1st few ride, then I spray a ton more, and this time gone, about a year ago ! But note I dont use my car often, I maybe did 6000 km since then. Probably PB baster Surface shield should work too, this stuff is thick |

It's still bugging me that it failed this early and I remember that getting it out without proper toolkit wasn't fun since the brake shield is in the way... never a quiet moment in E9x ownership. |

I always evaluate the effort before changing OEM stuff on jobs ''while I'm there'' knowing most of the time OEM part last longer than aftermarket. |

If I remember rightly, the boots are held onto the joint with little spring clips. It's a pain of a job, but you should be able to get the clips and boots off entirely without damaging anything. Then clean, grease/lube, refit/reseal.

Yes, they have those clips. If I could do that, that may be the way to go. However, if I have to remove the big control arm to get to it, I might as well get a bushing toolkit and replace the bushing itself as I don't know whether regressing it really saves it, or just delays replacement. Rein is $10, Lemforder $20 and BMW $61.
