These are made by "Lemforder" for BMW so get them from ECP for about £150 + VAT each, as otherwise they are nearly double that @ the Main Stealers
BMW CSL part numbers for cross reference are: 31122229454 for the Right wishbone... and: 2112229453 for the Left side. Don't quote me but I believe these are the same as stock E46 M3.
You get both front, inner & outer ball joints in the price but not the rear bush that slides over the end of the wishbone and bolts onto the chassis. This may be the right time to put something a bit more Racy in there, and I don't meant that purple bubble gum stuff from Powerflex

Why the fook are all those bushes made in the USA , bought by Brits, and then fitted to a German car ?
Those are simple engineering, surely someone in the UK produces the same?

TRUE

The "genuine" lemforder from ECP are not the same quality as oe from BMW.
Trust me on this one.

The guy from ECP came out to our gaffe. Saying the bushes were 100% the same, he was wit the lemforder guy, they were both adamant they were exactly 100% the same. We knew just b looking they were not. We then got sme real bushes out of our stock. They looked, felt completely different. The ECP lemforder stuff lasts only 1/3 of time too.

Find some updated race arms shim, your car is hardly a comfortable cruiser,
