    sway bar bushings

    Yesterday while replacing the front rotors/brake pads and the sway bar links , I noticed that the sway bar bushings are worn out.


    Which brand of sway bar bushings is worth to purchase?
    What type of lubricant is better to use?

    See what company is the supplier to bmw by checking fcpeuro. The sit will also show you other brands. I usually by parts made either by the supplier to bmw (OE).

    I saw on YouTube that some folks while changing the sway bar bushings are greasing them inside and out.
    Is this proper?

    I might do a dab on the inside to prevent squeaks,
    anything more than that just becomes a crud magnet.
    I've turned to using silicone spray,then wipe clean,on outer surfaces.

    If that's what you have on hand, sure-as it states it is safe with plastic and rubber.
