    Front Lower Wishbone Rear Bush?

    Anyone knows if the standard E30 Powerflex bushing will work? Or is something different on the ix?

      Thanks!

      I noticed that the lollipops were the same but the bushing had a different part nr, i assume thats because the 4wd maybe needs more rubber in the bushing?

        yeah it has less void area.

        I personally like the solid M3 and offset M3 bushings

              whats the benefit from using the M3 offset bushing instead of the stock ones?

                For starters they're solid rubber as opposed to the webbed design, but the main point is that they give you more caster, which the iX lacks from the more upright strut towers. I think stock the iX has like 1 or 2 degrees of caster. I'm sure Nando will be able to give the specifics on this. It's been a few years now since I've had an iX :(

                  yeah it's something like 1-2 degrees stock. I think I have like 3.5 degrees with camber plates and offset bushings, lol.
