Quick E46 Question [front suspension]

Sparky · 16 Jan 2010 at 20:48

Anyone know if the ball joints on the front lower wishbones can be changed without changing the complete wishbone.

Have been told that i have to change the whole thing due to it being "Low Slung" Mtech setup?

Part of the arm I am afraid! Same on all the E46's.

Get Lemforder arms.

I think they are the ones the Indy ordered. He is replacing the wishbones on both sides as well as the rear bushes for £452 all in.

Wow that's very expensive - I hope they are Lemforder!

It cost me about £70 for one side (including rear bush) for my 328ci and then I got it all fitted for about £30 iirc, that was not using Lemforder though as I wasn't planning on keeping the car for long and just wanted to get it through the MOT. I do know M Sport models are more expensive though.
