A better E34 subframe bushing?
This ebay seller claims their E32/E34 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...QQcmdZViewItem subframe bushings to be much heavier duty than OEM.
Has anyone tried these units? ... or is this 'old news'?

Another Alternative
is to 'reinforce' an OEM bushing with polyeurethane like the E28 guys do:

That ought to firm things up!
Has anyone tried this on an E34? Just curious as to how much firmer the ride gets.
Also check out the creative use of a Swazall to remove the old bushing:

Beleive it or not, these are NOT a scam Nick. I was looking over at mye28.com and they acutally do exist! COOL

Normal bushing on the right, upgraded bushing on the left. and if you cross reference the part number the seller gives you, it comes up properly on ETK. There's a few dudes in Sydney who want their subframe bushes replaced, so now I need to borrow a subframe bushing removal tool. Who wants to lend one to me?
