	This may be covered elsewhere but the search only works for words of four letters or more. Searches for "E30 suspension" or "BMW suspension" always ignored the E30 and BMW bits. Anyway... I was wondering if anyone knew if the bushes and ball joints on the front of an E30 were removable. What I mean is, if the bushes or ball joints need to be replaced, will I need the whole arm replaced or just the worn bush or ball joint? I know that replacing the ball joint or bush is a DIY job but replacing the arm isn't a DIY job, not for me anyway. Any help gratefuly received.

	rear bush yes, front inner or outer balljoint no, its the whole arm. they can be a pig to do if they're at all seized too, as access to the top inner nut is quite limited depending on which engine you have.

Muchos gracias. I knew one of you well informed chaps would know the answer.
