Howsit guys

Need some assistance regarding controls arms and bushes for my 04 320i m-tech II.

Bushes need replacing. Which brand can you guys suggest and where can i get hold of them. Read about powerflex bushes and was just wondering if they are worth installing?

! of my control arms are bent so needs to be replaced and i suspect the ball joints on both have decided to retire. :thumbdo:
Same question, which should i go for and where can i get hold of them?
I am in cape town.

thanx in advance. help would be much appreciated. :rollsmile:

Meyle HD are an excellent option for control arms and bushes. It is widely accepted that they are the best quality non OEM part. Bayn46 installed them on his 330i. You can buy them direct from the distributors - imcomex.

I can't comment on the power flex
Bushes.

I can get you both Meyle and powerflex

I have full powerflex on my e46 and cant say there are any negative effects at all and you cant argue with lifetime warranty...

I use Meyle for any bushes that powerflex do not make they are very good quality rubber...

I killed a GW diff bush in 6 months on my car after that i went Meyle and its still looking good about two years later same driving style :fencelook:

Replaced all the bushes i could with powerflex, they work perfectly, no complaints!

As AdiS said, I went through this exercise recently. Have a look at my thread if you'd like some information on the options.
