    The bushings that were installed in my control arms were in fact Boge. No issues so far after about 5K miles on them.

    I ended up getting the M5 bushings pressed in mine, the shimmy never went away with the 750 style bushings and I must drive hard because they didnt last long before giving up the ghost. No shimmy or probs with the M5 bushings. Worth the extra 30 bux, now I dont have to keep swapping them things out.

    How do the M5 bushings differ from the 750 style?

    The 750 bushings are fluid-filled. The M5 bushings are simply rubber. HTH
