    Default Upper Control Arm Bushing Diameter

    Does anybody have a upper control arm bushing handy? I need to know the diameter to see if I can use sockets from my 3/4" set or if I need to buy/make some adapters.

    After 24K the shimmy is back and I'm going to try Jeff's advice and press in some Lemforder M5 bushings.

    And it's worth bearing in mind that you can get a normal* spanner on the 19mm nut to undo the upper control arm. (I'm lead to believe E34s have slightly more room than E32s so this trick probably won't work on an E32) My normal spanner wouldn't fit but an old POS of spanner would. I can post some pictures of it if needed.

    * it takes some jiggling/time and it will only go one one way, but the ring end will fit !
