Polyurethane Front Thrust Arm Bushings

[Homerlovesbeer]

Don't these bushes increase NVH and suspension noise? Also I've read a lot of people have regrets as they squeek?

The X5 isn't a sports car for track use, I'm after comfort over harsh but razor sharp handling.

I’ve had them in for a week or so and they are as quiet as the OE and mono ball bushings…which is to to say, no noise at all. They also deaden the road noise more than the monoball bushings too. I think I had gotten used to them, but now really notice the quiet after swapping them in.

I don’t know if Powerflex had a purple bushing for the thrust arm any longer. I looked for alternatives, but the single piece black ones were all I found on their website. The ride is very comparable to stock in my opinion.
