Rear Control Arm Bushings (Swing Part)
I was not having any luck with the search options so I though I would just post. On the rear of X5, the lower control arm bushings on the inside appear to be part of the arm and there isn't a part number listed on realoem. Is there any way to replace these without buying a new control arm? That really seems like a waste to replace the whole arm for just those 2 parts. Thanks guys for your help,

Lemforder bushings are readily available for the rear swing arm - they are the OEM - you need 2 of each

look at the post above you lol you both posted at the same time.
why? simple, $$$$$. why have someone just buy the bushing when you can get them for the whole arm! same concept as "dealer only" parts

^Bingo - BMW doesn't sell just the bushings because they sell the whole swing arm as "Genuine" - Lemforder sells the bushings separately but those exact bushings are in the "Genuine" swing arm which is $350 apiece

The inners don't wear at nearly the rate of the outer ball joint. When was the last time the ball joint in the knuckle was replaced?
