best place to buy?

Upper Thrust Arms with bushing and lower control arms for the best quality and price.

At the Dealer, it will cost me 452.52 for both thrust arms, bushings and a right lower control arm

I would contact Steve Haygood of Automobile Solutions. Steve is the BEST around for OEM parts. He will sell it them to you for as cheap as he possibly can. You can contact him at (706) 647-1485. Mention that a MyE28.com member sent you.

If he can't get them cheap enough for you, there's an ebay seller that goes by the name FCP Groton that has pretty good quality stuff. I've used his parts on my e28 and have been satisfied thus far, as have others that I know.

FCP Groton is pretty cheap and specializes in european parts, but make sure you get OEM parts and not their crap replacements. Meyle is decent. They are a website that also has an account on ebay.

Give Patrick at BMA a call at (888) 262-3911. I get most of my parts from him. I got a set of upper arms with 750 bushings from him years ago. Where ever you decide getting it from. Be sure the arms are Lemforders brand.

BMA is the way to go

BMA is one in a million - prices are within 10% of what you'll find anywhere else and they ROCK when it comes to being helpful / informative / working with people. I don't even check prices anymore... getting to that age where I patronize quality shops just to keep them around.

PS - if you like working on your car, get FCP Groton parts - that way you can have the joy of replacing them again next year when they wear out :)

www.autohausaz.com is the place where I buy usually, good service and prices and they ship to Japan the cheapest way they can.
Often they have special discount offers, so I watch that too, bought 2 fuel pumps from them when they had a special discount month on all Bosch parts, I saved for 2 pumps (I need 2 for the 750) abt. 120 $, and compared to other online vendors for the same pump between 250-300 $. So better check the online vendors for special discounts.

http://www.pelicanparts.com/ is also good, maybe not that cheap as Autohaus Arizona, but they have nore items and carry small bits and pieces which no other one has except the dealer.

www.rockauto.com is especially strong in reman parts such as brake booster units reman by A1-Cardone.

BTW: does anyone do business directly with A1 Cardone?

I have some ATE H31 hydraulic brake booster units and brake master units to reman, they do not have a dealer here in Japan. I am looking for someone with existing business to act as 'go-in-between'.

So along with the thrust arms and control arms, what else should I try to fix at this time? Thanks

I would revamp the entire front suspension components at once if I were you, but that's just my preference. If you do use BMA, they can probably compile you a group of OEM products. I know FCP can do it with OEM parts if you specifically ask them to do so, but I am unsure of their prices. I know they sell sets on ebay, but brand-wise they're questionable.
