I just wanted to provide some feedback on this repair as i just had this completed on my 2016 X5 50 msport with 88k miles. I bought the parts from FCPEuro back over 2020 thanksgiving holidays and received a 10% discount. My friend who is a German repair tech did the replacements and told me that the metal on metal noises were days away as the ball joints were toast. My car is equipped with dhp and adaptive M suspension and active steering so the parts were a bit more expensive than non active steering parts
I bought these : 31126851691/31126851692 for $136.46 each and these: 3112686482131126864822 for $207.24 each and all of the other necessary single use nuts, etc. from FCP Euro I also went ahead and bought these Powerflex subframe bushing sets: 2804617 & 2804618 for approx $190 shipped I can sway that the creaking as well as the steering slop is now gone. it tracks nicely and the powerflex bushings have tightened the bounce up as well. Def worth the $$ and effort - truly sucks that my BMW extended platinum warranty to 100k miles wouldn't cover any of these repairs thanks to everybody that posted their insight and experiences with their own suspension woes as well as it proved helpful for me on this exercise |

There's a technical service bulletin on the wishbones if you still have warranty coverage. It's SI. B31 02 17 from November 2017 covering F15 and f16 except M up to June 20, 2017. My dealer did not know about it so I had to provide it.

I appreciate that - I think if my car was still under the 4yr-50k mile factory warranty then it would be covered. I asked that question numerous times before pulling the trigger on the parts and that was always the response
Glad yours was covered 👍 |

My car has been making a thunking noise lately coming from the front passenger side suspension. I really only hear it when backing out of my garage or at very low speeds. Car def doesn't feel as connected to the road. Sounds exactly like what you experienced. |

You actually chimed a thread I made a few weeks back about my issues with my front suspension. I had poly bushings in M3 awhile back but it was a full coilover race setup as well. I'd rather not go w/ poly on my stock suspension family SUV. Also, poly can squeek over time. |

Appreciate the feedback! A guy said the same thing in my other thread. I'll be replacing those #9 bushings.

I'm looking at replacing my front control arms because of this worn bushing issue. I see a couple options on parts and curious which ones people have tried.
1) OEM BMW(TRW supplier) approx. $350 each 2) Lemforder approx. $200 each 3) Delphi approx. $65 each Of course, very interested if anyone's tried the Delphi one(Delphi is a known big name supplier) |

20in staggered setup steering have a mind of its own over road imperfections.
bushings look average and got a ball joint that seems loose. Just ordered both front lower arms From rock auto (Moog) and powerflex poly bushings to install on the new arms. i will report on my findings once all installed and aligned. |
