Nope - had my osf wishbone replaced under warranty last year due to wear in ball joint.

TVM. Thats when you wish you had warranty. Especially after another broken rear spring and Xenon ignitor gone! :bigcry:

I beg to differ ...

Grond control makes an adjustable outter ball joint for the E46 M3 ...

On Ground control's site it says Racing Only, also for the price they have listed, once bought and shipped I'm sure it would be cheaper to buy a suspension eye and complete lower arm from ECP!?

I did the same as Brett, had one go on my old M3 so bought exactly that from ECP, with some trade discount it came to £233.00, no shipping as they are 2 minutes from me :)
