    Default OEM thrust bush repl by 750 at 60k now 150k?

    OEM thrust bush repl by 750il at 60k. Light braking shake now at 150. Could it be time already? This is Grandma's '89 525 with no other drivers. Just finished the '85 535 and was hoping for a little time off.

    Default wheel balanced? rotors?

    Do the cheapest first, if your car shakes on braking, check to see if your wheels are balanced. Then check to see if you're your rotors are out of true.

    90K miles on a set of thrust arm bushing is amazing. It is probably time.

    I agree with Tiger. I have not even 50K on my 750i bushings and I think they are just starting to go. Its probably a combination of things, but i expect to do the bushings again in the not too distant future.
