Anybody know where I can get some poly bushes for the upper TCA?
Apparently Powerflex dont do them?
I originally fitted 750i bushes from BMW at a cost of £60 odd, they have lasted two years and now its gone back to shakey shakey syndrome

More than likely and ive sold all my BBS, its now shaking like a b**tard! At 60-70 on the brakes it feels like im about to get ejected :eek:

Had to hammer 70 grams on to one today, that was static balance didnt have enough stick ons for a normal balance :)

I will stick a couple of strips in the post if it's needed dude.

You have got bob hope of knock on's on static sorting that out. Ally 1 maybe improve it a bit!

Get them to balance them on ally 1 mate. Best chance of reducing the shake. It's dynamic but weights inside behind the spokes and on the edge. 8)

This has E39 fitment wheels with spigot rings, the main problem is the wheels are shite, about the same quality as burger kings, got them balanced properly and its a lot better.
Could do with better wheels really but its a daily car that gets taken down the worst roads in the country (or so it seems) so im not about to spend plenty on wheels that are likely to get damaged.

Had this happen in June after driving over a pair of pliers somebody had kindly left on the road.......

Went though the tyre, wheel, brake back plate and also damaged the disc.

Lukily they weld up ok :)
