Maverick I feel your pain man. I would have yelled f@@@%&*^%%ck! if it was me. This is so frustrating after an excellent work you've put in. Let's hope you'll find that bugger that squeaks

Ya I knew I shoulda just done both but was trying to save money. Given how little to no change at all my alignment was affected after doing the driver side. I love just do this next weekend and not get another alignment.

Any suspension components failing at 30k miles is poorly designed. Period. This isn't a race car and isn't driven as such. Spirited sure but cmon.

This seems similar to the HVAC problem. Not everybody has it, but enough people do to make you think there was a defective batch at some point. These suspensions are meant to last 100s of thousands of miles; unless of course you drive off road or in some third world country. They should have recalled them as this is a safety issue, too.

The part looks exactly the same so not sure if they've changed it. Maybe different kinds of bushings.

Just got this work done on my 2016 X5. Under warranty. There was a clunk noise when I put reverse at very low speed and also a noticeable clunk while driving at low speed.
Both side lower control arms(wishbone) where replaced. FYI: Milage is 27,000 |

I'm wondering if this would be done under warranty when your 4 year warranty expired, but you still have 1 more year of CPO warranty (like in my case)?

Basically, I'm not sure if CPO covers it or not. We know that 4 year warranty covers it. |

Good news is that the SIB everyone shared on here was very helpful and they tackled it right away. Getting it back this week. Fingers crossed. |

Given it was still in the green I won't be doing another alignment after the passenger side.

My dealer wants $1100 to replace the cracked bushings (and presumably arms - I believe it’s one part?) |

I always recommend replacing suspension components in pairs since you have to do an alignment anyway. Brake components too, though you don't need an alignment...
OP: Great DIY and nice work getting this fixed!
