Hi

Has anyone used powerflex eccentric tca bushes to there e30? Or the cheap eBay eccentric bushes?

Do e36 track control arms bolt straight onto the e30?

Cheers

Don't use e36 arms.

They will fit, but the outer joint is an inferior design and allows a lot of movement.

Most e36 owners fit e30 arms as an upgrade!

I have used both powerflex and oe bushes, powerflex are a lot easier to fit ( just be carefull, the older batches had the left and right markings the wrong way round, don't know whether it's been fixed by now ) and do feel that bit more direct. But, they do transmit a mid more buzz and vibration from the road.

It depends how you drive and how you prefer your car.
cheers,

harry
