E34 with parkinsons...

[DanThe]

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

[pacerpete]

My local Euros does/ did stock them. Have you tried your local ?

[DanThe]

Yep, first call, powerflex dont list them apparently, I thought it was rather strange, but strange is the norm with ECP

[pacerpete]

Luckily my local Euros has a couple of clued up paedo types . Powerflex tca bushes ,Euros part number is 973110221, 5 sets in stock at Wembley

[DanThe]

Thank you sir, will try them tomorrow

[Dezzy]

Why doesn't that surprise me. They just tell lies at mine!

[HairyScreech]

if not perhaps "flowflex" or "superflex" may list them.

[DanThe]

Ordered, £35

[DanThe]

And now its worse....

[Dezzy]

What else could it be? Your council spec 50p wheels?

[DanThe]

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

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

[Dezzy]

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!

[DanThe]

I will drop in somewhere tomorrow morning "before I get on the motorway"

[Dezzy]

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.

i had this problem running e39 rims and in the end it was spigot rings tried about 3 different types and trimmed them and greased the hub up=no more shaking!!!

[DanThe]

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

[Andyboy]

Legendary!

[Ziggy]

Lukily they weld up ok

Probably the strongest part of the wheel now though...

[DanThe]

It did balance up with less weight afterwards
