Need opinion on suspension noise and f8x suspension parts
2015 m235 RWD 8AT 51K on Airlift 3P air suspension for less than 4k.
I believe my bushings are going(or that's the FB consensus Got a knocking/tapping noise on the driver side front. I can feel it in the floor board/dead rest pedal. Happens at low and high speed(can definitely hear it at higher speeds and sounds very much like a knocking noise but not motor related). No specific rhythm to it, happens when straight or turning, bumps dont make it worse(if anything i don't hear it on bumps), its not a consistent noise, not height dependent, no obvious steering issues I am bagged, I pulled the wheel off and everything looks and feels tight, nothing obvious, no damage to any suspension or steering pieces or loose/free hanging wires/lines that could be tapping. I'm looking at new bushings and ran across the F8X TS and Control arm thread. I realize that the f8x bushings are firmer but do they have enough articulation to handing being bagged suspension?

Your opinion on Powerflex bushings? They don't press in, more like squish in...
