Hi folks.

Could someone please tell me if the item below is the correct bush for the front top wishbone on a 1989 350I ?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...

Also, anyone know where I can get the long bolts for the top arm as well?

Thanks,

Martin.

Looks like the ones, I was going to suggest going for Superflex but at £110 + drat, yikes that one heck of a hike in price to what I paid earlier this year.

Thanks guys.

I've read several times that it may not be best to poly-bush the front of a Wedge, but it's ok at the rear (which I've already done).
Although I wasn't going to buy from Ebay necessarily I was thinking of using standard bushes.

Anyone have any thoughts / experience on this?

Thanks,

Martin.

I used standard bushes on mine, 2 reasons--

1....There is no way I was gonna pay a crazy price

2....If the originals have been on since new or any length of time, then any upgrade to new spec will make a massive difference. Mine now is solid and planted. Although I have done more than just bushes

Opposite is true.
