Back in March/April I hit a large pothole at about 30mph with the front left and really felt it. I haven't used the car much since, but this weekend went up to Darlington for a wedding. Car was generally OK, but everytime we went over a pothole there was a loud knocking from the passenger side that made my wife wince...
Got the car up today and took a look. Rear suspension looks fine, but the front stabiliser mounts are ropey - the drivers side looks like the bush has split, and the passenger side has given way completely:

Looking at realOEM (https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=31_0266) this is called the "stabiliser bar" - is this the same thing as the aftermarket H&R ARBs? If so, is it worth getting them replaced with H&R? Should I do the rear as well? About a year ago I had the suspension refreshed with bilstein B8, H&R springs, new front top mounts and drop links.
Thanks!
