Had the car in for a brake fluid change today and it was mentioned that the top straight wishbone was worn and needs replacing.
Part number is 33326777980
Does anyone know if it's a diy job?
BMW don't sell the bushes separately, should I get the arm polybushed instead?
Would I need an alignment afterwards?
It's number 18 here.

number 18 ,number 19, and number 3 are very common on 1 and 3 serries cars .u need to chech all suspension very carefully . these parts wear down in very same or close time .and of course tracking must be done after these parts there replaced .
i wouldnt go for power flex bushes
Edit: Thank you very much Valdelis, I only saw your reply after I posted.
I'll get them all checked out so, I'll stear clear of powerflex I think.
So I think these would probably be replacement bushes from powerflex
