Lower Arms on a 325 Tourer

[Stoney_god]

Hello my first post in ages...

Both by ball joints are totally totally shot to pieces and need changing..

I've been advised by TouringDaddy who's working on my car that you're unable to buy the joints seperately and would need to get the complete arm. I understand the 325 Tourers run alloy jobbies which are about Ԛ£140 a side...

Normal E30 I believe run steel ones so would these fit ??

Or does anyone have any suggestions inorder to keep the costs down as this motor is costing me an absolute fortune as everything keeps failing..

Cheers everyone...

Steel ones do fit. I tried to get my local garage to change ball joints on my touring but apparently you can't change the ball joints on the alloy wishbones. Money was an issue at the time so I've just got steel wishbones now. Not sure how they compare to fully functional alloy ones, but it certainly handles better that the ones with shot ball joints!!
