Ive tried the 'search button' but no joy :?

Can anyone please point me in the direction of a thread listing all the bushes that need replacing and with the other options i.e M3 eccentric bushes etc

Cheers

+1

This should be a sticky too imho, so many people spend loads on upgraded suspension when their car has bushes that are shot to buggery.

I had a CSL before this and it was pretty much accepted that after 2 years and 15k miles the rear trailing arm bushes and maybe the top mounts should be replaced, I bet most of the cars on here are still using most of the original bushes that are around 20 years old!!

A list of OEM part numbers would be great.

And a list of alternatives, including things like E46 M3 top mounts etc.

engine mounts
gearbox mounts
front top mounts
rear top mounts - E46 M3 cab ones
Subframe Bushes
rear trailing arm bushes, eccentric ones reduce negative camber on lowered cars - need 4
Propshaft Donut - centre propshaft bearing is also worth changing while your there
Bush on the diff back plate - ZM3 coupe one, fits and much stronger than normal E30 ones
