Moog UCA ?

[BruchaBmw]

Has anyone on here used Moog UCA's before I've seen post about Moog Sway Bar Links but not the UCA's. Can anyone tell me if they are bad or similar to Meyle HD/ lemforder ?

Well they are OK, but use the same oem poor bushing design. Will fail prematurely.

Yea as long as they last 2 years at 20,000Km I'll be ok.

I have probably replaced 20 pairs of uca's, first with oem lemforder replacements to my surprise I sometimes had shimmy even with the brand spanking new arm...granted some of this probably was caused by slightly unbalanced wheels. I tried Meyle HD, garbage, did the same thing, either shimmy right away or 5k miles later.
Moved to spherical bearings, huge transformation, no shimmy and very precise steering, but too harsh. Finally went with lemforder arms with m5 bushing, BINGO! Precise, smooth, no shimmy and not as harsh!

Can you confirm the P/N of the M5 bushing? Is it 31-12-2-226-528?

That is correct!

Just get some Synchro Design Works bearings. Never replace it again.

They sell them for the E31, they’re local to me in Kennesaw, Georgia. Have to call and ask for the E31 bearings though they aren’t on the site.

How do they compare wth wokke’s??

[killian665]

They’re better. They use a larger bearing than Wokke, Turner or any of the others available. They compared all of them before building their own. Plus they’re in the states.

Call em and ask for yourself though they can tell you.
