Where are the blue caster bushings from?

They are HardRace ones.

But other companies do sell em.

Are the quality as good as the ones from Treehouse?

[catuned]

I have both here and do not see any difference other then color.

Bimmerworld calls up treehouse, says "Hey can I resell some of your eyeball arms?" Treehouse says, "Sure", and sends them out a couple of pairs at a price. Bimmerworld gets them and thinks, "Our profit isn't much for these arms, I can probably send these off to china through a source and have them made for quite a bit cheaper." China says "Sure, here's the minimum order for XX a set." They show up and bimmerworld lists them on their sight. Their China contact finds out what the parts are for and goes around their back listing them up on ebay for cheaper.

Happens pretty often.

Quoted from another thread a while back.


Looks good so far Igor!

[drummerchubbs]

Looking great igor!!!

[catuned]

I guarantee that's what happened too. I honestly do not see any difference other then color. What ever is what I say! Thx. I'll have an update later on today.

It always amazes me how much time it takes to do simple things.
Well got the front suspension completely done and rear just about done as well. All new rear brakes, new shoes, cables, lines. New Fuel filler neck hose. I don't play when it comes to old fuel lines.









It's good to have some wheels back on the car.

nice man good progress

[e30serg]

Hey man! Nice project! I hope I can go check it out one of these days. I was looking at this project a while ago and noticed you also added the cross bars to the trailing arms. This guy had a problem with the fuel filler hose. Read post #250. Is there any way you can compress the rear suspension and check for clearance with the filler hose? I hope you don't have this problem!
