Even if FCP sends you new bushings under warranty, you have to spend money to send them back. And you have to spend the time changing the bushings.

How much difference did they make when you added them (the tension strut bushings)? I agree they will probably last longer and be easier to install too.



I found this other brand which is a bit cheaper. Are their "radius arm" bushings the same as the tension strut? https://psbushings.com/product-category/bmw/x5/x5-e53/
