Hello

X3 35i - My car is vibrating from front side whenever I apply brake. It shakes my steering as well little bit.

I took to mechanic, changed tires, brake pads , rotors.
He told me my Control arm is not good.

Do you guys think its just control arm or some bushings / ball joint as well?

In case of control arm - Do i need anything else ?
Like Wishbone , sway bar or ball joint?

There are two parts for the lower control arm, front and back. I've changed both on my X3 35i and it is not difficult. It's hard to tell over the internet if your ball joints or bushings are ok.

You don't state how many miles on the car? If more than 100K, I would look at control arms….I would bet the bushings are split somewhere
