the latest mod/repair took place this week. My steering wheel was shaking like Michael J. Fox on high speed braking. The problem was traced to front lower control arm bushings (FCAB). I also recently took the car into my local Indi shop and they said not only were the FCABs in bad shape but the control arm ball joints were compromising performance. BMW made a wise money making move not allowing one to replace only the ball joints on the control arms but making them integrated into the control arm as a unit thus making it necessary to replace the entire control arm smart for BMW dumb for the wallet. Long story short i found a member through an online forum selling the upgraded ZHP control arms that had solid ball joints for better performance and purchased the Mayle HD FCABs through bavauto.com The ride is great now.
