Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After only 39,000 miles of very gentle driving, the front lower control arm bushings are scrap on my 2001 bmw 330ci. symptom show up as a jerk on the steering wheel when brakes are quickly applied. front wheels can also be observed from outside of the vehicle by an onlooker moving within the wheel well when vehicle gets rolling and brakes are applied and then released. apparently this is a well known high wear area. intend to claim from bmw even though vehicle is outside of warranty period. *nm
