---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 8 May 2005 09:48:51 -0700 From: "Rodney Moore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Bmwuucdigest" <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com>, "Norm Reini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: E28 M5 Thrust arm bushings Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Norm, The E-34, M5 upper control arm/ thrust rod bushing does not have a plastic compression limiter installed in it. I assume Bavarian Auto used the 750 bushing given the photos. That I understand the M5 bushings (p/n: 31 12 2 226 528) is all rubber design. The 750 bushing (p/n: 31 12 1 136 607, also used on the E-31, 850 all to include the Euro 850CSi) is fluid filled with the plastic limiters. I have had an E-34, M5 and M6 since 1990 and more recently an 850Ci. I converted my M5 to the 607 and M6 shortly after to a milled down 607 bushing early on, in 1994. I have replaced them only once as part of a normal suspension upgrade/maintenance, not because of a shimmy. I have yet to have a braking related shimmy with these bushings installed. I also use the N'ring brakes 345x32mm rotors w/4-piston caliper on all 3 cars so the bushings have been tested. The original rubber M5 bushing on my m5 failed when I had the car on jacks replacing the front brakes. I would also suggest a lower control arm from the E-31, 8 series (p/n: 31 12 1 138 477/478). The lower control arm is identical to the E-34, E-32 aluminum arm however it has a spherical bearing at the chassis end instead of the rubber bushing. Also, for the E-24/28 rear swing arms, I would suggest installing the E-34, M5 sliding bushing (p/n: 33 32 1 135 808). With this upgrade you may want to consider installing an adjustable inner swing arm mount. The lower control arm and sliding swing arm bushing will substantially reduce the flex in the E-24/28 suspension without adding harshness. For part numbers go to: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/ Rod...

A Blue (looked like the new CSL color) E46 M3 weaving through traffic rear ended him and left the site. The impact was left front of the E46 to right rear of my son's car. The driver was a middle aged male (45-55). Although traffic was moving about 55 mph at that point, the speed difference was small and the damage was fairly minimal and there were no injuries.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a bad vibration in the front of my 328i. I've replaced all the front bushings/ball joints which were bad. I'm also fairly convinced that at least one of my front wheels is slightly bent. How often do the front wheel hub assemblies need to be replaced? The car has 102k now, and I suspect that the bad ball joints didn't add any additional length to the lifespan of the hubs. Also, how difficult is it to replace them? Are any special tools needed? Do they bolt in place or are they pushed in place? I've replaced front hubs on my old Jeep, and that wasn't too hard. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!
