lower control arm

So I am an idiot and ordered the tension strut vs ordering the lower control arm since my bushing is torn.

Can someone tell me the part number for the lower control arms for sport suspension on an e92

thanks!

has your steering become slightly stiffer?

My bushings were leaking so replaced the control arm. Steering is stiffer now. I guess that is expected.

I went to a shop, don't have a garage. You can check on RealOEM.com to see if it will fit the XI.
