My front control arm bushings started to squeak today, how big of a fix is this? COST? its only the passenger side, i dont have to replace the entire control are will i? is there a way to just re-lubricate the joint?

ever heard of search? Regular w211 section had step-by-step direction. I think you mean that your lower ball joints started to squeak.

Having the same creaks/squeaks but driver side. All parts/tools are finally delivered and will do next weekend. Shouldnt be too bad from the DIYs on here and benzworld.

Mine started doing on both sides at the same time.

you can find the parts on line cheap now. you should replace all the bushings at the same time. You will also need a wheel alignment as well.

the reason im asking is when i had my M3 i had the same issue and i had to replace the entire control arm, the bushings couldnt be pressed in. ive found the parts. But as of right now the squeaking is gone. so im not too concerned with it. if it comes back ill go ahead with the replacements. thanks for the info guys.

Are there two sets of arms on each side/tire in the front or just one arm and one bushing on each side/tire? I got mine replaced earlier this year and now a different mechanic is saying a different set needs to be replaced. I have a warranty on the replaced arm but first I want to make sure the same part that got replaced earlier this year is broken again.

There are 2 lower arms on each side in the front.
