    Default E31 Thrust arms bushings

    I think 3 days ago I had to brake hard while driving M/h to avoid an idiot coming from a side road. the car vibrated really hard right after that and I got a wiggly front now. so I guess I busted the bushings.

    I can't remember if they were 750 bushings or normal E34 since I bought the 750 bushings and then found that the whole arm is dead. so the workshop bought new arms with bushings in.

    I was reading through the forum ...many were saying that Urethane bushings are good but generates harsh ride and shortens the life of the front suspension. now the question is: would the 750 bushings work fine with the 850? or M5 or Urethane are better. I need to fix my car in the coming 2 days so I have to decide now what to buy.

    Thanks all ...
