New bushings

[MattThorne]

Hey,

So my front lower control arm bushings are shot, and I have decided to replace them w/ 96+ m3 bushings.

I was wondering if I should have the rear control arm bushings done at the same time, or does it really matter?

Thanks in advance

you'll want an alignment after each so doing both at once saves you the cost of another alignment.

-Matt Thorne Couple of things, if the LCAB in fornt is bad, the balljoints probably are too. If all is original you might want to change them out...tie-rods too. As far as the rear, are you referring to the rear CA bushings, or the RTAB? RTAB is a more common problem, althought he upper and lower CA can alos be an issue, replace both outher with balljoints.

hellrot 325,
Thanks for the info, my tech will diagnose the entire front suspension, so that shouldn't be a problem.

As for the rear I wasn't sure if I should also have the lower control arm bushings replaced. I will have him check both the LCAB and RTAB.

Thanks for the help.
