E-92 Suspension Play

Checking the suspension on my M3 (2010 E-92), looking for a second opinion.

To much play? Replace?

Is there any play in the joints or just rotating? Arwe any of the rubber joints split or perishing? Do you hear any knocking or rattling when driving? If not I'd leave it be. They are ball joints after all and are designed to allow rotation as the links change angle and attitude through the travel.

I have a rattling/knocking noise from my front right suspension on my Audi C7 S6. Did an inspection and found the big bushing where the lower bent arm meets the chassis has a big split in it and can be moved left/right so am having that replaced on warranty.

Yes there's a knock when moving off, slight vibration in the steering wheel at 70 and a weird hum when braking from 30 down to zero. Something definitely not right, hoping this is the culprit!

It may have been the angle from the quick glimpse in your video, but the rubber boot on the lower end of the anti-roll bar drop link looked like it had split open.

Possibly. They're pretty loose on booth sides, you can wiggle with finger and thumb, but no "play".
