    Sloppy fit of poly control arm bushings

    Hi,
    I got a complete front control arm set with poly bushings and the bushings brackets (from TA Technix here in Germany). The small bushings fits tight on the control arm studs but the larger bushing fits really loose in the bracket. I thought this would be a press fit with all the motion then being between the snall and large bushing. Is this normal? Should I glue the large bushing in?

    Looks you have the normal centered one and not the offset M3 style. I would just coat it with the silicone lube and install as is.

      would do the same as above. i'm not sure how decent those are though. i'd try run them but would consider having another set handy if they don't work out.

        I've always had issues with poly CABs. Would recommend getting the solid rubber centered E36 bushings.
