    X3 Control Arm bushings replace or buy new arm ?

    I need to replace my control arms both front lower bushings both sides on my X.3 ! Is it easier just to replace with aftermarket new control arms? Or take out the old part and put in new bushings ? I do not have a shop press either any thoughts.

    In your case you might has well save time and replace the whole arm

    I'd go with OEM replacements (Lemförder), the whole control arm.
