    Rear Suspension Bushing Question

    Hi;
    I need to replace my trailing arm and sub-frame bushings.

    RealOEM gives me 2 part numbers for the TABs:
    1) 33-32-9-058-822 Eccentric
    2) 33-32-9-061-945

    Which one should I get? What's the advantage eccentric vs normal?

    Thanks!
    Victor

    Eccentric trailing arm bushings are use to correct rear camber/toe issues. The disadvantage of them is that the tend to drive out of adjustment. If the car needs camber/toe correction, weld in camber/toe adjusters are far better.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Thanks Jlevie;
      I'm going with the normal ones then since I don't have any camber/toe issues.

        Who carries this weld-in types of camber / toe adjusters? I think I need one. I suppose they can work on a stock suspension. Do you really need to reinforce the rear sub-frame even if you don't track?
