TaylorGoesFast Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hmm, seems they've gone out of stock at Bimmerworld again. Almost everyone gets these arms used and pressed new ball joints in. I suggest you do the same. Try car-part.com or ask around for anyone with a set lying around. Part numbers for the ball joints needed Outer BMW Ball Joint - Lemforder 31121126254 x2 ttps://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-ball-joint-front-outer-31121126254l Inner BMW Ball Joint - Lemforder 31121126253 x2 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-front-inner-ball-joint-e30-lemforder-31121126253l Emailing Al Taylor [email protected] should always be your first step in finding used BMW parts.

Adams31 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Can I run these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorGoesFast Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 No, you can not run those. In the future, I hope we start to allow the non M arms with offset bushings, but for now, it needs to be these exact parts.
