    Default Upper thrust arm bushings

    My car has developed a shimmy at around 100-110 km/h so I think it's time to change the upper thrust arms. Everybody seems to recommend the 750 bushings but my local shop only sells the stock bushings and reinforced ones. The reinforced bushings have green plastic bits whereas the factory bushings for a 530/535 are white (518 orange, 520-525 blue).

    So my question is, what color are the plastic bits on the 750 bushings? If they're green then I'm gonna get these as they're cheaper than ordering from the US.

    Mine were green. But does that color refer to the type of bushing?

    Yeah, I think so. 750's are green.

    Check Bruno's site...his upgraded inserts replace the green 750's with red ones.

    Best, Whit
