Owner reviews for bushings

I would personally buy the Lemforder bushings as they are very well made by a great company - ZF.

I did the entire kit from FCP Euro (Lemforder) 1 yr ago and drives like butter.

Poly ones are a great upgrade here regardless of if you're keeping it stock or upgrading, it only adds to the ride quality.

It\u2019s the rear bushings that are worn / shot. Buy the Meyle rear refresh kit from FCP euro. They have videos on the change out. I would do the front control arms (4) also with Meyle HD arms. You\u2019ll be better than new with that change I was shocked it handled better than when it was new.

All the bushings should be a cheap great start. I changed my front bushings on everything and it was a massive difference. I used Moog products

I just did both sides of the ass-end of my 2002 Outback. From sacked-out farm car to everyday driver. All of the bushings (literally) and new struts for right around $300 bucks.. Doing my own work.. owning a press comes in very handy if you own or work on Subarus. Makes all of the crazy suspension work pretty much trivial. Especially once you've collected all of your press rigging pieces. Took about 3 hours per side. A little torching and a little sweating, in a part of the US that still salts the roads from time to time.

I've seen those bushings worn completely away and wearing into the arms that they're set into and still be riding everyday.. Not recommended, but you're safe rolling with that. It'll wear the tires out like a motherfucker, but you'll be fine.

It's not bad work once you've done it. $1600 is just fuckin robbery, but understandable, also. Especially if they're doing the alignment, also. Still outrageous in my opinion.

I’m speaking from personal experience. I went the bushing route onto to not find the right pressing cup for my Honda when I rented the tools. Just go with the whole control arm. It’s more money, but will save you the headaches I had

This is based in truth as I know that about 50% of model y/3 fail in the first inspection that is mandatory for example in Finland for every car that is going to be 4 years old. The problem is the bushings in the rear control arms.

I bought a 330i from a buddy for my daughter and I did all his work. Did Meyle bushings for him 3yrs and 4k miles ago. They are already like exhibit 1 again.

BMW’s shitty bushings
