I just ordered a Lemfoerder centre rod from them. (They can supply whatever you specify). I went with the Hamburg Teknik aluminum lower control arms though, they look fine (but we'll have to see). Also went with the cheap HT tie-rods too (hopefully I can change them later if they go bad. It is a hard ask when its 50% off for what 'seems' to be the same thing... Nick

I actually took pictures documenting the differences, but I've been to busy to mess around with posting them.

It's just a cheap ass part, and FCP is a cheap ass company. Surprise surprise.

agreed.. when i ordered from then i got thrust arms.. both were left, and one was for an e28. they did offer to pay for shipping for the replacement part but really.. not worth it

oh yea.. the 55mph shimmy almost went away.. but not totally. and a year later it's back in a big way
