M3 eccentric bushes

Tue May 22, 2012 10:24 am

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, and I've found a couple of threads but still a little confused.

I've ordered up some M3 eccentric bushes to go on my new arms, as recommended by most zoners. I will be replacing tie rod assys at same time.

when getting my tracking done which settings for toe/camber should be used, E30 M3?

I have 16'' staggered alpinas if that makes any difference?

Toe as standard. Camber is not adjustable.

Lemforder have two in stock, thats it, then no del date for the next lot.

I have just ordered two from Sytner Leicester for a tenner cheaper than I could buy a single Lemforder on a staff sale at work! Crazy but true!

Note that BMW only sell these bushes as a pair. If you look at the part # (31 12 9 061 222) you will see that there is only a quantity of one per vehicle. I.E. The part number is for a pair of bushes, which also means they are half the price that they first appear to be.
If you order a pair from BMW, you should actually receive four bushes.

I ordered qty of 1 so Will receive a pair for £31, ordering from Lemforder was £30 each bush, even on staff sale!
