Nice job!
Did your car display any other symptoms like following contours in the road and being a bit of a handful to keep straight?

All parts in the front now have been changed out. All Lemforder - Upper and lower control arms, idler arm, center - left and right tie bars, sway bar bushings and left and right sway bar connecting arms. No more shimmy, even though it was only slight and my how the BMW handles now.
Next will probably be the Sachs Kit or maybe an EAT chip.

Ralph,
I'm getting ready to do the same. I wonder if I might ask you the cost of parts, if you did all the work yourself, location of parts procurement, etc..
Glad to hear it's a smooth ride,
Stephen
BMA had the best prices I could find on Lemforder and that was the only brand I trust. Check outh their prices online and add the code 1555 into the discount field. You get free shipping if you order online.Originally Posted by HDhandyman
Had I had access to a lift, I would have given it a go myself with my brother. But I had my trusted independant do the quality work.

Nice, that's just what I need to do.
