Due to this piece (circled in red) being bent, one dogbone has worn more quickly than the other. What would be stopping me from replacing just the one thats worn?

Edit: I would attempt to straigten the bent piece before searching a junkyard (BMA doesnt sell the part :( )

Nothing, if the other side is fine. Just replace the worn out one.

Odd repairs lead to having to go back and do it again.

As far the that torque strap...Eeeh, try to straighten it, but keep an eye to replace it. I didn't think I was killing the Dogbone, since the strap just mounts to the subframe side, and the bolt the hold them both is pretty meaty

I thought BMA could get most any BMW part. They just do not show them all on their web sites. Ask for Patrick.
