Roll bar bush kits

[CraigMillwardCroft]

Has anyone had to change their roll bar bushes, due to wear or just to give better track handling.

[mattCSLnut]

Yes, for both reasons :thumbs: with POWERFLEX replacement parts, front: http://www.powerflex.co.uk/product-details/Front+Anti+Roll+Bar+Bush+30.8mm+/1779.html
... and back: http://www.powerflex.co.uk/product-details/Rear+Roll+Bar+Mounting+Bush+22.5mm/1783.html

Looks like the next thing I will have to do then, they look cheaper than the set on ebay. :thumbs:

It's the best and cheapest suspension upgrade you'll do on the CSL IMHO :thumbs: ... also the perfect time to check & change your anti roll bar drop links ;)

[CraigMillwardCroft]

Are the drop links a reasonable price from BMW, how do you know if they need changing. :thumbs:

When they start knocking :thumbs: Don't bother with the main Stealer for drop links mate, call Euro Car Part and ask for "LEMFORDER" OEM drop links, same as what BMW will try to sell you... in very expensive boxes :whistle:

Ohh OK, since you've asked so nicely Steve ;) :hahaha:
p.s. ignore the blanked out bit (wrong set of rears supplied by ECP) :banghead:

[s.mac]

that really helps a NUMB NUT like me, FoOKinG close up ...

I have a noise at the back and cant find it anywhere, not suspension, not callipers, not rtabs, not exhaust...
a bit of movement in the camber arms and now you've mentioned roll bar noise due to wear it could be that, not loud but something somewhere, are the roll bars that tie the back end and eibach and others do ?? and should camber arms move a bit ?

[s.mac]

and what are the rods in the 1st pic? are they new or have you just put polly bushes in them ??

[shane@mbtech]
