Running AKGs and cusom grease fittings in mine. Love em, and they really improved braking stability and turn in.

how come any1 here manage to kill their bushings?
i replaced mine (original from 1990) with AKG one's, and as far as i could see the originals were ok.
how can you tell that the bushing is dead?

Mine you can tell just by sitting still and turning the wheel back and forth,, the CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK is a dead giveaway lol
After lifting my car up I can move the control arms in the bushings up, down, and side to side.. not to mention I can move my front wheels toe in and toe out with my bare hands lol
Just ordered the whole setup from ebay for $185 bucks shipped,, includes control arms, m3 bushings, inner/outer tie rods, and even suspension bar links

I have them installed, but my geometrie is way off on my whole car.

This is how it is set now.

I renewed every single bush and have Bilstein B8 suspension with H&R red 29663 springs and the M3 cab's.

Can someone give the normal / good / closest to factory geometry settings, with the cab offset bushes installed? Or how much difference I need to take into account when looking at my geometrie values?

Thanks in advance!

ps, I probably have a bad top mount, that's probably where the very bad values come from.

I�m thinking of putting these on when i redo my suspension. Am i going to get alot of rubbing from using 225 50 15�s?
Anyone know what the part number is for the bushings?

Depends on what the offset of your rims is. Look for the bushings on pelicanparts.com
