Thanks Dave It's going back in tomorrow. They say it may be a poor alignment issue? But will check. Sorry they had said to me it was a control.arm? It can move very easily and more so when car on plate and off ground. With wheel turned can easily see movement around the bushes. Still they said that's normal. Something is far wrong as the car handles really poorly at higher speeds and cornering. I'll update after it's been checked again 👍

Hi Dave Back from BMW today who checked car over and said everything is in spec and correct. They are saying control.arm is supposed to move and also near bushes as there spring loaded. Find this strange? I literally move the arms back and forth with ease. Stick what to do or where to go now? Had a suspension check at weekend albeit from Halfords and they pointed the arms out as needing replaced. Car still under warranty so guessing if I was paying they would be saying needs changed. Gary

Hi folks I purchased a 2025 BMW 220i with around 17k. Car was pulling slightly so had 4 wheel alignment carried out and in spec. While up on ramp it was noted that upper control arms on both sides front could move slightly back.and forth. Albeit minimal but can still move. Is this normal or do I have issues with ball joints or bushes or need new arms under 60 day warranty. Must say car is still pulling and there are no unusual noises
