Are the front lower ***** joints all the same? I'm not really seeing parts online for an inner/outer, just lower.
Also, if I order all 4, how many need the bracket?
the car needs the control arm bushings so I kinda want to do these as well

 

For control arm bushings ONLY go with the powerflex as they won't wear out again

For ball joints the inners are part of the control arm so the only way to do them is replace the entire arm. But I wouldn't worry about them as I have customers with over 200k not worn them out.

The outers are specific to left or right side and just unbolt

really why do they sell control arms without a ball joint

 

that's on the R50 R52 R53

I haven't seen them for R56+ without the ball joint as that would make them useless.

 

yea I don't know there's a couple brands for this year listed with no joint. Of course I will not be doing that but I see it.
