Yes
Yes, almost all BMW Motorsport parts are not excessively expensive BMW Motorsport fronts are too short, I make them a little longer |

I looked into BMW motorsport arms at one point, and from discussions with a BMW motorsport engineer that's an acquaintance, he discouraged me from using them saying their spherical bearings wouldn't last very long.

In the US QA1 makes spherical bearings and rod ends. They'll even make custom units. I wonder how their offerings compare? Do we know who makes the BMW motorsport part. Track/S has them in hand and uses them. I feel he can speak to how they perform in practice and not theory. As a person not well versed in either with this parts I'm curious as to what makes manufacturer A better than B? |

Here you have the brand's that BMW Motorsport uses: And here spl garbage: They had to change the monoball because it had play (installed with less time than mine), after changing it it lasted 2 laps on the track, it almost destroyed the car... Last edited by Track/S; 01-01-2024 at 06:30 PM.. |

I called them about this and they said torque to 180 ft/lbs but I still torqued both my new FLCA & tie rods studs to 160 ft/lbs

What's the OD of their spherical? Or the part number if someone has it.
