E85 Front Wishbones - What to buy?

[terry&jane]

Hi guys, I fancy tightening up the front Anyone done this and if so where is the best place to buy the parts from? Seen loads of complete kits on fleebay but probably Chinese manufactured stuff

I've replaced mine with Meyle HD (heavy duty) on the E86 and so far they're great. Also replaced the front bushes at the same time.

Cheers chap Did you replace just the ball joints and not the control arm itself?

Meyle here too and very happy

Replace the whole wishbone and the rear bushes/lollipops all at once. Don't forget to do front arb bushes and drop links too

Hi. What is the cost for front wishbone and lollipop replacement including labour and assuming decent parts were used?

2nd link - johnyboy is the one I purchased from. He did me a deal on everything.

Personal choice, but I would not touch poly. I had them once and removed them due to harshness and squeaks. I got those oem for a few quid
