front suspension '88 320i

[zip88]

front end feels a bit loose at the moment and the spy glasses look like they could do with changing,is it true that you have to replace the whole lower arm if you want to renew the ball joints?
also got to put in some lower springs while I'm at it, any other suggestions about upgrades to bushes etc?? that will improve the feel of the front end,also what other seats etc do I need to change when I fit the springs?

thanks

|If the balljoints are ogne yes you have to change the arm - get the febi/bilstien ones from Euro car parts - Ԛ£46 each roughly.

While your doing this get some powerflex eccentric control arm bushes, these are fantastic and whats better you dont need any special tools to fit them. They make a big difference over stock.

Lowering springs - H&R are rated as the best things ou there for our E30's.

All the above can be bought from our in house shop by clicking "zone shop" at the top menu.

had a good look at the front lower arm today,and it seems to have two ball joints,and one rear pivot,which sits in the spy glass,not sure where the eccentric bushes come into it??
