    Unhappy Broke control arm bushing NEED HELP PLEASE!!

    So I was installing my cars (2005 e46 m3) control arms and when attaching the bushing I put one of the bushings on backwards and broke the inner bushing (not sure on the name). If anyone can let me know if I can still use the part or where I can buy a replacement. I’ve included pictures of the part and how it looks in the assembly thanks.

    That looks like an aftermarket bushing - there is an engraving on the silver housing that I cannot make out.
    You should get replacements, thankfully they aren't pricey and you can buy ones that are already pressed in, but you should replace both sides. ~$55 a piece at FCP euro, part #s 31122229623 and 31122229624.
