    new OE m3 FCABs -– pre-pressed control arm bushings for e36

    Pair of new OE FCAB bushings (front control arm bushings, aka LCAB) already pressed in to used lollipops. These are the “centered” factory Lemforder bushing for all 96-99 e36 m3s, but can be used as an upgrade for the non-M e36. Ready to slip on to your control arms and bolt on to tighten up your front end handling. No messing around with DIY swearing at improvised bushing pressing or going to a machine shop pressing out/in the bushings while your car is jacked up. New pair of OE m3 bushings already pressed in sell for $186 at Turner Motorsports. Other than that, I don’t believe you can get good quality pre-pressed m3 bushings –- only non-M.

    These also can be used for the e30 and z3.

    Selling for $69 shipped + you send back your old lollipops to me when complete. I also do the above for the offset units that came on 95s for the same price. The offset gives more steering caster.

    I’ve been doing the same swap service for the e46 m3 and it’s pretty popular…

    I stand corrected -- these are "OEM" (Lemforder). I was going by RM European's website (where I got them) and they claim OE.

    Nonetheless, here are the requested pics...

    So it's 85 and they just bolt right in? Simply remove two bolts? Sorry, I haven't done this before but believe mine need to be done..

    It's actually $79 shipped. Understeer.com probably has the best DIY. I wouldn't want to over-simplify and say they just bolt right in. You still have to get the old ones off the CA ends and the bang the new ones on. But this does eliminate the hassle of using a torch, vise or special tool to press the rubber in the lollipop.

    This saved a lot of a hassle, especially if your already installing new controls you can knock out both sides really quick. My front end feels great, wish I would of done this sooner.

    Legit seller & fast shipping!

    I'm still too new to PM so I tried emailing you. I'm looking for a set with the offset bushings. Let me know if you still have them in stock. Thanks!

    I do have some in stock but didn't see any email from you -- at least not recently.

    After replacement, do you need an alignment?
