    I have a 90 535i/5spd/95K and have never changed this bushing. Changing the subframe bushing looks like a pain:

    Could this plate be used in lieu of actually changing the subframe bushing?
    Well it will make the bushing wear slower because the bushing isn't allowed the flex as much.

    Default I will have 8 sets thrust arm bushing inserts ready to ship soon

    I will also make a combo at a lower price as requested.

    I am having the thrust arm bushing inserts machined as we speak and they will be ready to ship at the end of the week.

    Thanks, I will take pictures and insert them in the website as soon as I get them.

    Default Please do not forget- One Thrust arm set for me.

    I sent you an e-mail a few days ago stating I want you to hold a set of the Thrust arm bushings for me to match the rear suspension bushing inserts I just put on. By the way, I think the steering feels a bit more responsive with the rear bushing inserts.

    Just ordered my rear subframe plates... thanks for the continued support of the E34 community! I'll post my impressions after I get them in and get some miles on them. I'm hoping to delay my rear bushing replacement for a while, and improve my highway wandering.
