[liam012]

exhaust, gearbox and petrol tank are comming down soon and i'm changing the trailing aarms to discs on my 320i- i want to rebush the whole of the car and am trying to think of all of the bushes i need. also advice on wether to go eccentric or not and wether to go gsf or dealer would be grweat thanks.

Front ARB x2
Rear Arb x2
front lower wishbone bushings x2
drop/sway bar links front x2 (just buy new ones rebushed or 4 bushes?)
arb drop links rear x2 (just buy new ones rebushed or 4 bushes?)
rear sub frame bushes x2
rear trailing arm bushes x4 (i now need 325i bushes not 320i or are they the same?)

poly bushes are a no no as i live in the country in ireland and the roads aren't great - the ride is quite firm on the h&r kit alredy.

thanks again

Use Poly bushes on the lower control arms as they wont make any difference to harshness at all. Even if you dont go Poly get the eccentric lower arm bushes.

the clamps for the front arb bushes are about £1 each... would replace these as 1 of mine rusted and snapped.

engine mounts
gearbox mounts

front top mounts are pretty tough

rear top mounts E46 M3 cab ones

eccentric rear trailing arm bushes, reduces neggy camber on lowered cars

£25 for a pair u need 4

centre propshaft bearing is also worth changing while your there, imo

big bush on the diff back plate? go for the ZM3 coupe one, again fits and much stronger than normal E30 ones

i would stick to rubber bmw bushes personnally, poly ones dry out after a few years and sqweek.

outer track rod ends too? ( ball joints on them)
