Cant seem to find these now, only Delphi, Hamburg Tech and URO, can't even find Meyley HDs..  What's going on ?

Old news, it's been discussed before. I think BMW UCAs are still available, at a breathtaking price. Being the cheap SOB I am, I'd be tempted to try Schiedmanns off brand, I trust them more than US suppliers somehow. Still a roll of the dice at best.

Is Delphi that bad? I installed some a couple of weeks ago with Powerflex bushings.

Decided to go with Turner's E32 Spherical UCAs.  Just had to grind them down to 50mm.  I guess 17" wheels and big brakes is too much for stock 7 series UCAs, I only got about 10k mile on them and they are toast.

OK, so the bushings are toast. I assume they went in new arms, what brand and how are they holding up? I had more problems with the ball joints than the bushings, but I do seem to be the exception.
