Control Arm Bushings
I bought a 328i for my son. Plan is to fix it up as a project. Today is the first day I had to look around. I noticed the front tires were down to the cords in spots. No worries because I have factored in the following:
New shocks, all bushings, flex disk, plug, air filter, belts and new Eagle GT's. This is why you should watch your tire wear when you get funky uneven wear you have an issue. Here is the problem: ![]() ![]() ![]() The bushings are completely gone. This is an easy fix and not a lot of money. When you factor in a set of tires it is worth your while to get under your car and take a look. Last edited by JayMac; 02-18-2012 at 02:56 PM. |

Yep, FCABs are one of the first things to go in the suspensions on these cars.

Dropped in poly after pressing the old ones out of the lolipops. Will put the M3 one on the wife's car. In my opinion the oem non M are pretty weak.
Poly, M, nonM

To be honest I don't know. I got them off of ebay from Bimmerbum. FCP also has them. S0ap and water and they press in and then a little persuasion with a rubber mallet on the end of the control arm. I picked up the billet shock mounts also. Those thing are nice. Ireland has them also.
