    Common issue, my 2015 85D had all 4 of those front lower control arms replaced under warranty.

      @@InternetDude did any of them actually fail or was it done as a recall ?

      @@premiumoctane93 It was a few years ago but if I recall correctly it was not a recall, I had a complaint and they changed them. I've had two S's and I'm considering buying another 2015 S 90D right away. These suspension control arms are a very common issue because the cars are so heavy.

    Hi,
    What you did, and so many other do.
    Is missing out that before you tighen the inner arm nuts. You need to rise upp the wheel hub so the car are resting om the wheel hub, and not the body of the car.
    Due to that what you just did is to tight the bushing with the spring /hub all the way out. And then when you lower it down the spring compress.
    And you are putting tremendous twist force on the bushing you just tighten.
    The bushing will were out much faster now, due to that is in constant twisted position.
    I am from Sweden, and I might explane it a bit Awkward. But I found a video that explance it good. se below.

      @@premiumoctane93 Hi. Is it around 13.20? Well not my intention to be "smart" or anything. I notis that you say that you put a jack to simulate the wheel being on there.
      But that might be hard to understand for the audience, that it is for the bushing sake.
      Well well..
      Well done!
      I enjoyed to watch you video!
      Take care and drive safe!
