Contact Moranor from Axis he can help with Meyle HD components. They are actually better than Oem. I also wouldn’t replace 1 arm and would replace both at once :thumbs:

What does it consist of?

 

[moranor@axis]

arms are complete will ball joints can also get you the bushes from Meyle or Powerflex...

It is advisable you change bushes when doing the arm

are you sure the arm needs replacing? most often it is just the bush that needs replacing the arms last much longer than the bush

 

[silverz3]

The request for the replacement parts are based on the feedback i received from the wheel alignment results. They could not do alignment for rigth front wheel, and could not set the camber, caste and toe within the specified ranges.

 

[moranor@axis]

that could also just be the bush...

I would have it inspected 1st the arms are the expensive part and dont need replacing unless one of the ball joints have gone bad...

let me know what you need once you sure

Managed to replace all front suspension part accept the lower control arms, and same suspension parts as the E36 model were used accept for the stabiliser links. The wheel vibration similar to an unbalanced weel has been resolved and the alignment has been set.Thank you for the advice and assistance

Hi silverz3 , want get my Z"s suspension checked as it feels twitchy under braking, where did you take your car too?

 

[silverz3]

Car simulated wheels balancing problem so I took it to alignment place in Centurion and they could balance the wheels but not setup alignment due to tie rod end bent. I than inspected the front suspension and found the bushes and rubbers were worn and tie rod end was sligtly bent. Checked on the BMW forum and recommended that you replace the tierod ends, lower control arms and bushes after 100000k's
