Hey guys
So, lately after some new tires, and an alignment, my M37 has been darting at highway speeds. I took the car back to the shop I got the alignment done at and they said I need some lower control arm bushings on the front passenger side . His system was down so he couldn’t give me a quote today. The problem is, when I look up M37/M56/Q70 lower control arm bushings . I can’t find them. I don’t know if I’m searching for it wrong or what ! If anybody could give me any kind of advice or insight on this, I would greatly appreciate it... Also to mention my m37 is on sport 20’s 255/35/20 in the front, and 275/40/20 in the rear... I’ll be changing the fronts soon with the same size as the rear or a 255/265-40-20.... Thanks guys

they are sold as an assembly unit. the bushings arent sold individually. same as the G35-G37. aftermarket ones arent too expensive and makes install easier since you dont need a press to push out the old and install new bushings.

Wow...
Do you know where I could get an aftermarket lower control arm at ? All I’ve came across is OEM used or brand new and them things cost 300 PLUS

You say same as the g35-g37
But I actually see bushings sold separately apart from the whole assembly... Which is a lot cheaper but I’m sure they won’t fit in the M37...

The bushings are typically not separately, they are integral to the control arm.
Even though I have seen replacement bushings on eBay, the process of installing them correctly seems borderline impossible.

And if you do find a way to make the bushings work, you'll still have to deal with the ballpoint when it wears out. I think it's in your best interests to buy the entire control arm once and for all.

How many miles does your car have?

I briefly discussed this issue in the opening moments of this video:
