I just ordered them. Thanks for your feedback. I am installing them along with the rear link kit from Dinan. This thing better became an e39 M5 in feel.

Great feedback!
I put a set on my m550i and like them a lot as well, i didn't like the floaty steering. With those tou clearly get a more precise and direct steering ! A bit more harshness too but i'm super sensitive to this, my passengers haven't felt any change.

The other end being a ball joint, idk why you can just pull the bolt and have it drop down a bit and just press them out with a kit from Amazon etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong from those who have done it? I am intrigued and love to DIY as much as I can. But have never replaced bushings as of yet. Haha Changed my control arms and wish ones on my F15 plenty however. But I don't like the idea of dropping the axel for a control arm bushing.

Did you order two sets of the same monoball to use in the rear? Or did you get the rears from a different brand? The Dinan listed ones look like fronts only.

IND or other vendors that actually have them in stock. DINAN has fallen off the map when it comes to supplies for almost everything. Hopefully they make through 2022 still in one piece although i wouldn't be surprised if APR eventually sells them off piecemeal.

There are many products in short supply these days. It’s not just a Dinan problem. Front monoball conversions are not hard to make — you just put a standard lemforder or similar ball joint inside an insert sized to fit the suspension arm opening and use a retaining system such as ears and bolts. The Carbahn one should be just as good. For some higher volume BMWs there are more than 2 options, but the M5 mod market is fairly small.

I am going to try to install mine on the car if I can put together the right selection/size of bushing drivers and receivers and there is enough access with the ball joint still in the knuckle. If not, I will pull and press.
I have the fronts but the ETA on my order for the rear suspension kit is 9/30/2022. My H&R spring (M5 specific) order is 8/30/2022. |
