Hey guys, got a bit of vibrations at idle and rolling 60-70, and a little rattle after the brake is let off quickly and not steady. Wondering what all the bushings in front are so i can try to replace them. Want to have a tightend front end with out buying new springs and shocks. Not a machanc by any means but learning on the e34 has been good to me... So far.

Before doing anything on your e34, learn to search these forums, your issue has been discussed a zillion times before.

Root causes can be:
- Thrust arm bushinngs (buy new 2-piece poly bushes which need not be pressed in if doing DIY) Removal is tough, arms have to be removed first so they can be pressed out by a large press. My local guy puts em in for $100 when I supply the bushes.
- can also be unbalanced tyres, bent wheels, warped rotors, incorrect wheels (Eg e39 fitment), etc.
