Well I feel a little better about it now. I just didnt want one of the upper arms to pop out while driving- that happened to my friends 240D, luckily he was only going 10mph at the time.
The arms I suspect have been replaced previously. They were in good shape and still pretty tight. Usually the ones I replace have the pressed bushing ends coming apart and rotting away. The could have been almost new. Ball joints were tight, bearings had new grease in them so I guess I did repack them.
My main suspect is the shocks. Theres small bushings at the bottom of them that have semi clean spots at the edges of them meaning theyre probably moving around. Brand is "gas-a-just" -hmmmm... I'll replace them soon.
