Front suspension arms.

[gazzol]

Hi guys, I would like to buy 2 new front suspension arm for my coupe but I've not been able to locate any. Does anyone know where there is any stock? Tried W&N etc but to no avail. Alternatively does anyone know anywhere (preferably European) that will fit new pins and cups to my existing arms?
I'm not currently desperate as there's no play yet but the thought of not being able to replace them has me worried.

The Z bars are different on 1974 and 75 from earlier cars. Easy to tell is there is 2 dots instead of 1.
I believe that on 2800 they are thinner and have no dots

Yes 74 and on e3 have longer tension struts to go with longer control arms.

Thanks for your help. I tried searching BMW E9 suspension arms and all I get is E9x i.e modern stuff. If I search BMW 3.0 CS all I get is suspension bushes and yet they are out there, strange.

Interesting - could you describe the dots on the Z bars? Thanks

I have good luck finding parts by using the part number. My Google searches typically read: "BMW part number XXXXXXXXXXX". I'll use the orange books or RealOEM to get the correct part number first (or this forum).
