How much does it cost to change it ?
Not expensive. Just labour-consuming. So if you are really friendly with a workshop, they will do it for you. Some workshops either discourage this or turn it down.

hmmm... bro.... these 2 kinds of these bushes the normal one and the -ve offset
M3 version? So which is better? M3?
p.s.
what the total cost to change.. i tink i also gatal wanna go do it too.. hehehehe!
The offset M3 bush, indicated by Elwine30, is probably the one you are looking for. It gives you some measure of caster, which you otherwise cannot achieve without a camber/caster plate like KMac for eg.
See the following photo for illustration. Note how the front of the arm is pushed more to the front as the rear is positioned with an offset.

Aiyoh Lee, the way you hentam ur car - u should have known such things will wear!
You should have gone the PU way also...then ur grin even goes from ear to ear!
Since I am not familiar with E36...is the RTAB more correctly know as the subframe bush? please check those 4 bushes that indeed support the swing arm, which I call trailing arms.....
Btw, I am sure Jeff happy to see u....ahem!
Excuse me, I believe the word you are looking for is not hentam; it's driving enthusiastically. Which is actually good for the car.
Yes, I considered the PU bushes. But am currently enjoying and appreciating the civilised hushed sound over bumps. PU is in the pipeline, together with weight strip down, carbon fibre panels, widebody perhaps, etc, should I choose later to go down this route.
Thanks for the reminder on the subframe bush, which is different from the rear trailing arm bush. That is coming up next when I can find the time.

Lee, I haven't shown you my racun????
Custom lower control arm bracket with PU bushes.. same offset as the M3 bush.. Less slack translate to even sharp turn in
BTW, the M3 offset bushes increase the CASTER. From what I know, increased caster oso increased the -ve camber during cornering.
I admire your entrepreneurial engineering spirit - kudos. I did not know abt this product of yours earlier... Will consider it in my potential next evolution of the car (see above.)
Yes, it is indeed CASTER. My source of reference must have got it wrong, or I must have misunderstood it. Improved turn-in because of increased camber at turn-in caused by the caster.

hey bro, do u mind to give ur workshops contact...cheers
You have PM.
Item number 5 in the diagram above.
It's called Rubber Mounting for Wishbone, aka, control arm bush. The above version is slightly off-center, I believe from M3, which gives you some degree of negative camber in the front tires.
