Real OEM actually doesnt show those bushings with part#s unfortunately. only the hardware for them but not the bushings them selves.


i found the 2 different part#s on PSB website.

the original person who posted about Poly bushings, never posted the link to the bushings only the youtube video which only links to the Front bushing PSB653


the rear bushing is also available and is PSB654

not sure if everyone else just clicked on the video and bought just the front bushing but it makes no sense to remove the swing arm and replace only 1 of the bushings if you can replace both at the same time.


front bushing PSB653 - https://psbushings.com/product/2-x-b...poly-psb-bush/

rear bushing PSB 654 - https://psbushings.com/product/2-x-b...poly-psb-bush/

i knew there had to be 2 because in the YT video at the end it shows both front and rear bushings replaced in the swing arm. it stinks to have to hunt around. you would think PSB would include a link or part# in the description or at least say. BYW there is also a rear bushing we offer as well.


and attached is the screen shot of realoem not showing the part#s to the 2 bushings. i do try to research first before asking seemly repetitive questions.

You're right. Forgot BMW would rather sell an $800 part instead of replacing the bushings. I found the part numbers FCP.
