so i changed out my control arm bushings and associated ball joints last night and the X is nice-a-nice, but i still have a bit of a shaking under high speed braking. i didn't change the tie rods but i am planing on it now. (else, i suspect the culprit may be warped rotors.) (i have 89K miles, only 20K on the brakes which look good)

anyhow, has anyone used the following:
Home Page > Search > 32216751277 > ES#261076 Tie Rod Assembly - 32216751277
Lemforder Tie Rod Assembly?

The Tie Rod assembly from BMW is 2x the price, and just the ball joint is about the same price.

Whats the sucess rate on just buying just part #5 - 32211096327 as opposed to the whole assembly part #4 - 32216751277
