2004 E46 330ci Bushes Powerflex (knocking included)
HI all I have intermittent knocking on rough roads at the the front left of the car. Took it to Quickfit and the guy said it was the lower rear bush (not sure how he knew with just a look and not jacking it up?!?)
My main question is can I do it myself or do i need a mechanic to do it as he said it will cost me £320 to do both front sides as they generally go together? I usually do easy things like brakes etc but not sure how hard it would be to do these, plus will any special tools be needed as I have a basic set but don't mind
Second question is in regards to me change them to the Powerflex bushes, so would it be a better idea to change all the front ones or just the ones that need doing, as I don't want to have the same problem a few months down the line with another set and waste more money fitting others. If the others are generally OK then I don't need to bother with them...
Thanks for your help
