The crap parts are almost always the ones produced WITHOUT oversite, like the bushings in the prior post.[/QUOTE]
I ordered a set of those bushings and when I get them I will tell you how easily or hard it was to put them on a genuine BMW thrust arm.

I wish you the best of luck with them.
One thing I noticed in the pics on e-bay, these come with a sleeve of rather clear bushing lube (non-copper base). The best bushing lube is a copper base syn lube, unfortunately that good lube attacks/breaks down cheap poly/plastics. At install, you are stuck using clear lube and the possibility of squeaks over time (not knowing if the bushings are copper lube compatible).
