750i thrust arm inserts and metal bushings

[Bruno]

The prototypes are made for the thrust arm inserts and they are very nice.
Now we plan on getting a batch moulded out of aluminum. The insert will be used in place of the green insert in the bushing.
You won't have to remove your bushing to install them. (just unbolt it).
This will stiffen the bushing and reduce the failure rate.

We are thinking about making two versions of the inserts, one that will completely enclose the bushing and another version that will allow the bushing to still hava a little play.

In the works is a solid bushing race spec with a needle bearing to replace the 750i bushing.

We are also working on a spherical bearing for the control arm if there is any takers. We will make at least one set for Dave and his 535i turbo.

I'm going to need to change bushing again soon. will it prolong the bushing life? it seem to last only about 1 year then I get the brake and shake again.

[Bimmer Nut Ed]

I'll be re-doing mine soon too, I'm interested also Bruno. Just let me know what, where, when and how much.

[kyleN20]

im into it, but cost is a thing for me, and i think i need bushings aslo, not jsut inserts

[Mendozart]

Yeah, my 750il bushings are done. I think they lasted about 3 years.

thrust arm bushings, replace them with the 750 bushings or the whole deal from BMA if the balljoints arent mint.

As soon as break my piggy bank to get 500 units made, then I will post pictures and information...

I should get something in a month or so.

Thanks,

I have your red delrin thrust arm inserts that seem to enclose the entire bushing. IMO, they seem to ride harsher than I would like.

Now I need to replace my entire thrust arms as boots are busted and beginning to clunk. Planning to go to the lemforder with 740 (or is it 750) bushings. I have an interest in the aluminum inserts that allow a little play.

BTW, you make great products.

I'll be in for all of the aforementioned parts :D

Bruno do you still have the Delrin inserts for the rear subframe available for sale?
Sorry to ask but I'm just too bloody lazy to go look at the site :)

The new inserts will be stronger (made out of Aluminum). And I will make two version, one that enclose the bushing completely, and another one that leaves a gap allowing the bushing to flex.

Trying to accommodate everyone :)

The red delrin thrust arm inserts have completely stopped the 55 mph vibration/shimmy for about a year. Not sure if the red inserts have "worn" any at all. Will find out when I replace my thrust arms hopefully in the next few months.

Actually I am not really sure the red inserts are harsher than stock You see, I also replaced my front stuts with new BOGE struts and saw no significant change in harshness and ride, but big positive change in handling.

I'm all for getting a little flex!!! I had eurathane bushing before and I hated the ride. Smallest of bumps were harsh. I rather change bushing every 12 month than to go back to eurathane bushings..

Please get them made soon. I'm in need of new bushing.
