Well m3 style fcabs were pressed in that they would reduce caster. The hole was nearer to the center of the car(hole should be nearer to the outside of the car, then the wheel would move a bit to front and increase caster). As bushings aren't designed to work that way(they have thin wall on one side that isn't suposed to get impacts) they failed. 75sh diff bushing was facing the wrong side also, so started to go out.Comment

Originally posted by LencasSuch front control arm bushing damage could appear due to contact with a ditch, a rock or a pothole. The bushing itself is still perfectly usable. On another note, please try inserting the differential bushing from the other side of the mount. This could help with the issue of the bushing pushing itself out and becoming loose.
I'll send you a refund for rtabs within a month.
Lencas,
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? My bushings were installed properly by a BMW shop you weasel. Your crafstman ship is TERRIBLE and THAT is to blame. I have receipts for the install, even the tech asked "where did you buy these??, they look like junk" The FCAB's were not drilled straight and the overall diameter of the bushing was off. The reason you see them in opposite orientation is due to the bushing ROTATING in the lolipop. Improper machining and terrible material. Lencas, You claim that the bushing was pressed in improperly, but the bushing took no press to install. And even after installation they wiggled- you never responded to my emails about that. The RTAB's that he sold me were too long and squished out upon installation- you never responded to my emails about that. The Diff bushing is pushing out, it was also improperly machined- and yet again, you ignored my refund requests for that.
You made me come to this. All of your bushings from the "race" kit were utter crap, you mustve been drunk.
Lencas IS A SCAMMER AND HAS FAKE REVIEWS.
I tried to PM people who have purchased from lencas with no response.
He has promised me a refund and never came through only having this excuse. Other members have responded with the fact that they have given up trying to chase down their parts/money
Look at these pictures for proof and never buy a bushing from him ever. He has screwed over several members and never refunded them. Lencas your "excuses" are sad and sorry. Goddamn Liar
Save yourself the coin, and buy real bushings. LENCAS IS A SCAMMER
He owes the following people parts/money:

I admit that my rtabs were wrong and i am going to refund for them, but that's it. There were 4 sets with wrong hole in rtabs.
Subframe bushings fitted well.
Fcabs would be holding long time if your so called "bmw shop" had pressed them in CORRECTLY! And don't bullshit me, i pressed in 75sh M3 fcabs to many cars and i was using 90sh m3 fcabs with e46 control arms and they DO NOT ROTATE. The only material that is likely to rotate is ertalon, that's why hole drilling in fcabs is recomended.
And we have this situation where you scream on all forums that i tricked or scammed you, but the true situation is that your "bmw shop" messed up with pressing in. I am going to refund for rtabs and theyr delivery, but if you continue to behave like this i can't promise anything.Comment

Out of curiosity did you use std or offset subframe bushings?Comment

What you dont understand is plain english. The FCAB's rotated in the lollipop because they were not machined properly. Let me simplify it for your simple ass- They were loose, and did not fit right. It was like throwing a hot dog through a hallway. How can they be pressed if the opening was too big??
And yes i am upset, you keep throwing me for loops blaming everything under the sun. Just refund my money and ill leave you and your chewing gum bushings alone
Oh and my "Bmw Shop" has more mechanical talent than you ever will. It doesnt even take a money to realize a 3" bushing will not press into a 3.25" hole budddy.Comment

fotos with my "bad" dimensions would be great. ;) I have manifactured over 30 pairs of fcabs that works well, press in correctly and don't rotate and you are the only one who received 2 identicaly bad ones?
I accept that few of my rtab pairs were manifactured badly, but that's it.Comment
