My Ride: 2008 550i M-Sport
Ok thanks for your help. Based on some of the other responses for this job I better have some beer available for my friends who do not want to help.

I just had these things done at the dealer. Here is a small price list and charge. Hydrobearing - $50.00, Full Left Tension Strut - $244.00. My local dealership 3.2Hrs of work total $432.00 dollars. These items are not cheap at a dealership, luckly my 3rd party insurance took care of it. Ride is smoother now and I love it.

My dealer says I need to replace my front tension strut bushings. That is all it says. Does that mean the upper or lower control arms? They will not call me back or respond to my email.
I guess if I replace the control arms, they will come with the bushing preinstalled and we will not need to press them. Right?
