Ok all 4 front arms replaced. Easy enough. Thud has gone as well. Tie rod bushed were pretty knackered. Been in there a long time I would say.
I bought 3 tools to get the ball joints out as a bit of an experiment as I always use a hammer and never had any issues.
I tried all 3 tools and ended up using the hammer. 3 smacks each and out they came.
Tongs did nothing
Tool in pic would not go wide enough
Heavy duty tool in post above required the wee splash guard removed but the 2 tiny bolt refused to move. Not a big job to get them out but was running out of time so took the hammer out. Job done in 2 mins.

Drives much better now especially when crossing the white line, all the wandering has gone. Might have to look at the rear next as it feels a bit loose now the front is so responsive X5 40d
