Replace Bushings, or Complete Control Arms?
Okay, so the old girl is getting a bit noisy. Squeaking as she transverses speed bumps and driveways, especially when the wheels are turned.
At 186,000 miles, I suspect the stock suspension bushings are probably shot. Question is, its it better to just but a 'kit' of all the suspension arms with pre-installed bushings, or actually fit new bushings to the original arms. I get that the arms themselves shouldn't need replacement, but since wrestling old bushings out can take some time, I'm wondering if the labor to replace the bushings is going to make up the difference, or even cost more. I also wonder if it can be a DIY job to replace the arms, verses having to take it to a shop to replace the bushings (since I don't have a press). Thoughts? I'm also not going to spend $3K on BMW parts, so any experience or thoughts with the following options (was thinking of taking the middle ground and going with the Meyle)? BMW 20 Piece Control Arm Kit - Lemforder - $1007.99 (made in Italy) BMW 20 Piece Control Arm Kit - Meyle - $877.99 (made in Turkey) BMW 20 Piece Control Arm Kit - Karlyn - $456.99 (made in China) Thanks in Advance
