just change mine last week. before i change, when i want to turn left, can feel the steering want to turn slightly to the right. After i change, it feel much much better, so happy now the bmw magic ride is back.

Lee,

I found ur site. Thanks for putting up such an informative and illustrative post.

Although my car seems fine, I am just a bit gatal and am considering changing to those M3 bushes like yours.

I am sure that the bushes in my 12 year old are past its best.

to all sifus, normally when u need to change all those bush ( at what mileage interval ) and also if we send to mechanic to check if open up then need to change for sure coz u cant inspect without dismatle right?

Normally mechs check for free play at the bushes, then only recommend to dismantle, inspect and remove bush.
No specific intervals that i know off, since worn bushes will differ according to how you drive the car.

This is the rear trailing arm bush, aka RTAB.

Took it down, and saw this...

Notice the cracks around the center...

Both were in equally bad shape... ignore the jagged edges, which was caused by the removal process.

Bro Lee36328, do you mind to give the part no. of the rear trailing arm bush, aka RTAB..I'm a bit confuse here.. is it item #1 with part no. 33 32 6 774 777 and 33 32 6 774 778 or item #4 part no. 33 32 6 770 786 as viewed at http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E...ear_axle/rear_axle_support_wheel_suspension/?

look kinda different to me compare to your pics..i'm confuse as to which one to replace since when i asked the sparepart shop the man there said there are many rear axle bushes for e36. thanks

p/s: how much do you pay for the front lower arm bushes?:burnout:

 

[Lee36328]

778 is the trailing arm, right.

777 is the trailing arm, left.

786 is a bush.
