Got my the tracking done on my e85 2003 2.5i roadster last week and was advised that the compliance bushes (which I believe are also known as the wishbone and caster bushes) need replacing. As the car rolls forward and begins to brake, you can visibly see the wheels judder.

I believe that Powerflex are preferable over Lemforder. However, there seem to be a fair few options here. Namely, 60mm or 66mm and standard or aluminium outer.

Which bushes are the correct one's to order (my zed is standard) and what size do I need?
 
Im pretty sure that you want the PFF5-4601-60 set which is the bush with 60mm diameter. I believe, someone correct me if im wrong, that the 66mm ones are for cars that are facelift models i.e. built after 2006.
You dont need the aluminimum ones as these are firmer than OEM
 
you need 66mm, so PFF5-4601
There's afaik no z4 with 60mm fcab's, thats an e46/36 thing.
 
If you check realoem the part number for a 2003 E85 Z4 2.5i is as follows:

08 Set of brackets with rubber mounting D=66MM 1 31126783376

So you need the 66mm ones :)
