My 90 325ic has the rear differential mount that is pressed into the differential---worn out. I did some lookup and pricing and well, the pricing is all over the place from $20. at Pelican to $75.+ Anyone familiar enough with the suppliers and manufacturers to recommend a choice. This is a stock car and I don't want or need a significant upgrade to Oem. Part No. 33171135242

Always looking for Honda Trail 70 or mini trail z50 -
The difference in price is most likely the difference of OE or aftermarket.
I personally will always opt for OEM replacement parts because of fit and quality.
I belive that Febi is the OE manufacturer on this part for BMW (I'm not 100% on this).
A company called Meyle makes a lot of replacement parts but they have had kind of a bad track record with me though I have heard their quality has improved.I'm Not Right in the Head | Random Rants and other Nonsense1st Order Logic Failure: Association fallacy, this type of fallacy can be expressed as (∃x ∈ S : φ(x)) → (∀x ∈ S : φ(x)), meaning "if there exists any x in the set S so that a property φ is true for x, then for all x in S the property φ must be true". -
It can also be that you are looking at urethane and other harder material options that a lot of companies offer. Some place like Pelican Parts, Turner, Bav Auto, Bimmerworld, and others should carry the stock OEM bushing. Also, your local dealer will likely have it stocked and it won't be horribly overpriced.1987 E30 325is

I dont know about e30's but with the e46 Meyle HD control arm bushings are considered the best. The also make CA's which are considered a great upgrade from OEMsigpic 1987 325isComment

just go to http://www.rmeuropean.com/search.asp...rd=33171135242
They are $20 cut out your old and press in the new. it's just a bushing.
If you want I'll sell you an extra AKG Poly bushing I had in mine for about 1000 miles. For $35 Paid $49 it will last for ever.
