If you replace the upper arms, definitely get all new hardware (also not cheap). In my case I had to cut the bolts off as they had seized in the bushings. Massive PITA trying to cut these 10.9 bolts with a reciprocating saw in tight quarters. Went through about 20 blades for both sides.

Here is a link to a set of bushings for the rear lower control arm <https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-X5-E70-X6-E71-REAR-AXLE-LOWER-H-SWING-CONTROL-ARM-BUSH-INNER-OUTER-BUSHES/171201865190?hash=item27dc6d25e6:g:KlAAAOSwI01cWsS m>.



These will be impossible to install without a proper press. The ball joints I could not remove with a home-made rig. Maybe the kit is better?
