4 months no problems, now theres a problem

Hey everyone!

So its been about 4 months since a had a problem with the X, not bad I guess Anyways now I have a front end bushing problem. The steering wheel isn't straight to keep it in a straight line and then hitting the brakes at 40MPH, the steering wheel and the entire X shakes like a bastard! AWESOME!

So had someone get in the X, drive forward and slam on the brakes, the front wheels move about 2" back within the well. DOUBLE AWESOME!

So lifted the X shook the wheel and the play is nuts. So I guess the control arms need to be replaced. I think I'm just going to buy the entire assembly instead of just pressing the bearing out and putting a new one in.

Oh and the kicker, Left side CV boot, TORN AGAIN. Lasted 2 years, awesome BMW part. So I guess its back to work. I hate doing the CV boot more than doing the Valley Pan Gasket.

Anyone have any suggestions on what else to replace. Let me know.
