Background:
My car is a 2008 335xi and it appears to have a bad thrust arm bushing (hydrobearing ...31126768818.... according to real OEM) for the second time. When I went down this path 35K miles ago, I couldn't find anything more robust than stock for the XI; NO M3 part for the front of this car, etc...
Question:
Is there an M3 equivalent part or more robust aftermarket part? Also, is it still standard course to replace the whole arm so I get the benefit of new ball joints (85K miles)?
Thanks guys!!
