An example of E34 Eurethane thrust rod bushings after only a few thousand miles. http://www.koalamotorsport.com/thrustrod.avi The single biggest thing you can do to downgrade your stock BMW suspension is use Eurethane bushings. I've said it for years, but now I have video proof, bad as the video is.

I was going to put them on my stock suspension S50/E34T, but was strongly told not to by David Harrison. The stock suspension pushes like a b!tch close to the edge, but is easy to gently oversteer with a sharp open throttle. What would Eurethane do to affect that? Just curious, the car may be sold this weekend.

I have a set that is working great on a 535i turbo (300+ RWHP) that is going often on the track and they are not behaving in the way shown in the movie. This is just a poor designed set. I personnaly was running 750i bushings with delrin inserts that made them close to imposible to move. So let's not just fire on all urethane products.

I was expecting some fantastic video of an E34 rolling over at some track event due to some exploding thrust arm bushing or such.

I hadn't said anything yet - I was thinking "Eurethane" might be some sort of trademark name I hadn't run across - although if that were the case "Eurothane" might make a little more sense. ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(8 messages) **********
