We now have the E39 thrust arm bushings made up and I am looking for someone that wants to test a set for us. Retail will likely be under $100, molds are ready but I need to verify installation.

I would be happy to try them out. I have access to a tool that they could be changed out in about a 1 hour time frame and that is for both sides. I also have others in the First Coast BMW Car Club that would give them a shot. Let me know. Thanks. David

I have recently made the decision to overhaul the front suspension of my wife's '99 528i as we intend to keep it another 3 years. I have previously used Karlyn control arms which failed rapidly so am looking for an upgraded bushing but not one that will compromise ride. We have no sporting aspirations for this car.
I am a willing guinea pig with assurance that ride quality will not suffer.
PM if you wish to discuss
