Lol

A few things to consider......the front bush will actualy be providing a level of camber correction during loaded cornering...

As for a firmer bush.....BMW M5?

Its a triangular bush and pretty sold, it might be the best compromise.

As for the totaly different wishbine setup, dont go there, there is a lot of maths and work that goes into such designs!

Any suggestions for a supplier for m5 bushes? Presumeably not a beamer stealer due to price?

Any i.d. with those Steve? And is that for a set for the car or each bush?
Had a chat with a guy at Euro car parts and he needs a bit more info. Found these numbers. On another forum.

1993 Bmw 535i m5 (e34)
Bmw part no.31122226528
Lemforder part no. 13281

But not sure if that number is a box set of bushes for a "side" on the car or an individual bush(large horizontal?) bearing in mind the bm has control arms not wishbones.
Can anyone varify?

From my chat with the Leicester one told him that it was an E36 he had a look and as you say there are 2 control are think the ones he looked at where for the back one which is the one with the bend.

Think that is the price for 2 but will call back and check and update.

We had a discussion in Ukrainian Opel Club forum about that stuff. One bushing from E32 may be used in Omegas. On e32 they have various part numbers for different engines, the larger the engine - the stiffer the bushing ;)
i'll check it out and post numbers this evening, as soon as i get home. there was all the bmw original BMW numbers, as well as Lemforder PN-s and dimensions in that topic...
BTW,  same bushing may be used in E34 ;)
