What Control arm bushings are YOU using?

I assume that is was aligned properly, but not sure of it. Looking at the front dead on, IF anything, it's set toe-out. Not much if at all, but it would err in that direction.

Yeah, "loose and darty" at speed is indicative of too much toe-out. Or at least that's what Forza Motorsport taught me:p

mystikal can you explain to my what exactly the point of having offset hole bushings are, im looking at getting aftermarket ones right now, since i keep destroying the shitty stock ones.

Offset bushings give the front wheels more positive caster. Positive caster reduces bump steer and gives the car better straight line stability. Basically, more positive caster makes the wheels want to go back to straight. It makes the car feel more stable at higher speeds.

this maybe a dumb question, but how are they installed correctly and the same on both sides if the holes are offset?

magic, duh. Seriously though, I've thought about this too

There are small marks on the metal housings, I just lined up the holes as close as I could to these. I think the OEM M3 bushings have marks on them as well so they just line up with the marks on the housing.

When I installed mine I just did it by eye, the W/A after showed caster was almost identical for both sides. like within 0.02 or something, was way out of factory spec but thats to be expected.

Offsets CABs add negative castor :up:

I think i will probably get the powerflex offsets. They seem better and cheaper then m3 ones

You might want to try and setup a group buy with them. Me and 2 other people ordered a pair each and they gave us a 30% discount. ended up costing around $63 USD for a pair including freight from the UK - CHEAP. (That was direct from powerflex in the UK www.powerflex.co.uk) I know of quite a few people running them and haven't heard any complaints. Easy to install as well, no hardout tools needed or anything.

anyone else wanna get the powerflex busings with me?
