wishbone

[pigman]

can the wishbone ball joints be knocked out when still on the car

[E30BeemerLad]

would have thought you'll need a press to get balljoints out and in, so whole arm off.

[pigman]

oh bugger

[daimlerman]

Be easier off the car,but there again,I just swap the entire wishbone!

[town325i]

For £30 you can get a new arm with new ball joints so its not even worth messing about paying someone to press the old ball joints out

[psychochild187]

unless his are alloy but unlikey

[pigman]

thanks for the advice,think i might get new arms,where can i get them from at a good price?

[pigman]

just had a look on gfs parts and each lower arm is £47,but what does (BQ) stand for is it bmw quality? and will it come with inner and outer ball joints on it?

[psychochild187]

it will come complete. with both ball joints ,

i dont think you can buy them empty

BQ = Better Quality. (usually Lemforder)
