Rear Bush Options

Being relatively new to the Z4, I'm unsure who produces/supplies rubber bushes for the rear end. Is Meyle my only option? A search and Google do not yield any useful answers.

I am not remotely interested in Poly.
 
Lemforder are stocked by eurocarparts and are a decent brand.

I have Superpro polybushes on and can see why you're not interested tbh. On uneven surfaces (most of the UK Road network) they can make the car/steering feel skittish.
 
Just seen this post. Perhaps I'm looking at this back to front but aren't the options for a rear bush to wax it or shave it?
 
generally only an issue with darker hair types

more than once in my life i've wondered if i've mixed up the concepts of "hottie" and "builder"

:lol: a rear bush is most definitely not the most attractive thing to see.
 
I've searched high and low, but cannot find a diagram of the rear bushes - the descriptions are incredibly difficult (even for an Engineer) to understand.

I want to order the lot, standfast the track control arms as I will be purchasing a set of adjustable camber arms.
 
Well there are 2 bushes in each lower control arms. The uppers have one on the arm and one in the hub casting I think. The RTAB bushes (get a limiting kit or just make one simply 4 discs with a tapered hole to fit the casting) then the diff carrier has 3 diff mount bushes and 4 bushes mounting that to the body. Hope that helps a bit mr Hoff :thumbsup:
 
I'm afraid it doesn't :-( I know how it's all put together, but the descriptions of each bush on the websites are unclear to me. "Upper inner left right lower" is one such description...WTF?!?!?!

A labelled manufacturer's picture would paint a thousand words!
 
Upper inner I would guess would be upper control arm inner bush car side not wheel. Just do what I did call a a specialist and tell them what bushes you want for what parts. Let them do there job and find the part numbers and put them in a box and send them to you :thumbsup:
 
Yeah, I may have to do that. I've asked ZF Parts for a Lemforder IPC, so we'll see if/they they can yield.
