Standard rubber and steel ones won't rotate.

Offset CAB? If it's poly it's possible to rotate them in the carrier, that will affect caster. You'd have to take a serious hit to bend the suspension and steering components, but the poly CABs are pretty easy to rotate if you push up on the control arm where it goes into the bushing, so I could see it rotating with a good bump.

Nobody ever listens to me, but I've seen how fast poly wears when used in locations with constant motion. IMO go solid rubber for suspension components if you can, save the poly for drivetrain mounts, subframe mounts, ect.

I want so badly to get back to e30 land but its a struggle when mine is 2000 miles away and doesnt run right. :(

Not surprised since you have to press them in.

Anyway, I measured the amount the control arm is sticking out the backside, and there's 3mm difference. Same brand, so I would assume they're manufactured the same. Only thing is, to affect caster, the rear of the arm would have to move left or right, not forward and back, right?

I'm pretty well stumped. Think I might need to make a separate thread. A bent control arm could easily cause this issue, and I had a similar issue on my Audi caused by a bent arm, but I'm not seeing a bent control arm.

Could be the strut mount

where do you find solid rubber control arm bushings?
i just ordered some 80a see how that goes.

Not sure for this platform tbh. That said, I think the trans mounts on my Audi were advertised as 80a and I'm pretty sure they are delrin lol. Could be wrong though.

Edit:. NM, I wasn't paying attention, advertised as delrin.

bought a new shitbox (e30).

Pros:
$500 delivered
Smileys
Sport interior
No significant rust

Cons:
4-door
Ricer stripe paintjob/tails/bumpers/chrome shit/wheels
stickers
No drivetrain
front end/engine bay is a little beaten up
Wife hates me

Needs some body panels straightened out, some screw holes filled, a drivetrain, and a new colour. I have half a month in december to make it happen.

Need your help guys

Considering two sports cars. One is red, the other is blue (both cars are exactly the same).

Which would you choose and why? This is not a daily driver, instead will be used on weekends and for getting groceries.
For a daily I'm riding the bus LOL (but seriously tho, I am).

thanks in advance.

Blue one. Red = cop magnet.

That can affect it. Pull lollipop and push it back on the control arm.

What shades of each? I would go blue but that is personal preference. Never been a fan of typical red cars (burgundy is the exception).

In the 3 years I've spent as a cop, making over 1000 traffic stops, I've never once let the color affect my decision to make a stop or not.


Stickers though.... stupid stickers increase your chances of getting stopped by about 95%

What about nice stickers, like a NASA meatball or a university sticker?
