Hello,
I need to change my control arms and I ordered the Lemeforder ones from Eurocarparts, but I also need the lolipop bushings.
If possible I would like to buy this:
but I don't know the correct description on Eurocarpart website (no pictures there)
Do you know if they carry the lolipop including bushing, like the picture above (febi quality)?
Thanks

single bush 618110090
LH eyelet 610110020 20.85
RH eyelet 610110030 20.85
far better to press your new bush into your old eyelet.

thanks Smithy!
Do they have the lolipop with the bush already fitted?
it's more convenient for me because I don't have hydrolic press, and I can't let my car parked with arms removed.

I dont know if they have bushes installed already.
I just bought the bushes alone.

1) I recommend you use genuine BMW bushes from zimmerbimmer1
2) The bushes don't need a hydraulic press. A decent vice will do the job, or even a big hammer and a block of wood.
3) The car can be left parked with the bushes and lollipops not fitted. The pins won't move far from where their fitted position is. You normally fit the control arm to the car first and fit the bushes afterwards.

Probably should add that the main thing when fitting the bushes to the lollipops is to ensure that they start going in square and stay square.
