Bushings...

[evil_twin]

Hey, there a lot of bushings on our cars.

Could someone make a list of all of them, and maybe we can sticky it?

I need to replace all of my bushings soon and I want to go through the entire car replacing everything.

Thanks.

Oh boy. Lets see. All Bushings? Do you want to include like shock mounts too?

Lets start at the front:

Control Arm Bushings
Front Sway Bar Bushings
Trailing Arm Bushings
Subframe Bushings
Rear Sway Bar Bushings
Differential Mount Bushing

That's really all in terms of bushings. Did I leave anything out, anyone? i'd also do front strut assembly mounts and rear shock mounts while you're at it.

swaybar end links, I'd consider these a bushing since they are rubber. The only other thing to change while you're at it are ball joints.

If you're doing all your bushings, you should do your control arms and tie rods too. Ball joint wear out same as bushings

Yah. Apparently my rears are worse, so I was thinking of going back to front. I am going to drift the car, so I figured I should go with the AGK aluminum solid bushings (differential and subframe).

Anybody know how hard those are to install?

[CorvallisBMW]

I would assume they have to be pressed in, same as stock bushings

Does anyone offer a complete rear bushing replacement kit?

I want to knock out all of them at once - preferably with an upgraded set.
