EDIT 24 August: added reply with DIY steps

The bushing on my lower control is degrading so I am looking to replace it.

Two questions:

1. Does anyone have a guide on how to remove / install? I don't do much suspension work and am not that familiar with this kind of activty.

2. For daily driving and Occasional track use, should I bother with the upgraded bushings? Am thinking of just buying a replacement control arm from ECS or GetBMWParts...is an upgrade worth it? Am a little worried about pressing out the old bushing and pressing in a different one as opposed to just swapping out the assembly.

Thoughts?
