Do you guys think I should wait for a warranty replacement from K-MAC and just replace the bad bushings, or go back to a new OEM lower control arm? The labor for replacing the bushings on the existing control arms is more than replacing the entire control arm! Also thinking that since these are the original control arms / ball joints it is probably a good idea to replace the whole thing and move on. I will just have to deal with the negative camber in this scenario.
it is interesting what you write about and what you applied.
But have you thought about the application upper control arm about the part number 31126863333?

negative camber can be adjusted "+30" or "-30" minute, maybe it's not much, but still something. This solution is provided by BMW
