Front Control Arm Monoball Bushings - Improve handling
Hey guys
I've been keen on a set of these for a few years now, since Ive recently purchased a set of Ohlins R&T coilovrs recently I figured I'd compliment them with a set of monoball bearing bushings. I've researched various offerings (there are a heap of Co's offering these (dinan rogue engineering millway turner MS bimmerworld etc etc) and found the GAS (german auto solutions) to be great BFYB and a solid sealed design which will provide years of trouble free use. Why do I need these you may ask? Basically both the 135/335 and 1M and M3 all use a 'open' rubber bushing design. The ///M's have an upgraded rubber bushing which are better than the non ///M albeit basically they all allow for generous movement during steering, coupled with wear (lets face it most of our cars are getting old now) and with the sloppy non ///M bushings with wear they cause excessive deflection under heavy braking and steering input under heavy loads. The GAS mounts are a solid design thus there is no deflection which drastically improves steering feel and response due to less deflection and being able to maintain geometry under heavy load. These fit all E8X and E9X chassis's. (1M & M3 included) Ive managed to negotiate a good price on these mounts and they would be approx $320 AUD landed in Australia. RRP is $275 USD plus $76.15 USD for shipping downunder so a significant saving (dinan are $529 USD!) To save costs these would be sent to one central location then distributed from there at a small cost. Please let me know if you're interested and I can put your name down! http://www.germanautosolutions.com/…..._monoballs.php Price Approx $320 AUD 1. Shane 2. Stuart Lord 3. Vincent Lim 4. Alex Wong 5. Steve KMan 6. Immy Kamal 7. Socket 8. Tim Murray 9. Trev88 10. ? Last edited by DR-JEKL; 02-18-2018 at 03:19 PM.. |

How does the GAS version compare to Millway?? Would there be a great deal of increased NVH? My application is weekend street and occasional track.

NVH is very mild not worth worrying about IMO |

I saw that, didn't think much of it. I'll call Gary today to order and confirm. Will update!

Sorry - i did order the e90 kit as the M3 E92 is explicitly mentioned. That said haven't heard back Gary and team yet. Asking them to hold my shipment until they have a rental tool for the install available.

The website said call for e90,e92 and e93 M3... curious why? I am not looking to up grade for now but am interested and may in the future!
Edit* - just realized the start of this thread was from 18 months ago, so I guess the parts that we’re ordered then fit just fine. What is this tool required for figment, is it anything out of the ordinary for a BMW mechanic? |
