Does anyone know of any good urethane front control arm bushing upgrades for the xi? I remember the difference when using the m3 control arms on my old red 335i and turn in and steering response was crisp.
Nice! I’ve been searching and waiting for upgraded xi suspension parts such as these. Has anyone tried them yet? I even explored getting my own 12 ton hydraulic press and doing what you did...I’m about to do my tie rods (left one is twisty in my hands and I’m starting to see some uneven wear in the left front tire), so it might be timely to install these monoball front control arms at the same time and then get an alignment.I am a believer that upgrading the front control arm bushing is critical in a high power XI.
I use Strong Flex bushings which have been great. My shop used a press to remove and install using the Strong Flex supplied grease. Not too much noise. I am not a big fan of poly but these bushings are pretty solid.

I think the new Turner XI front control arm Monoball is the way to go but they are expensive.
