Tom Carter at WELCOME TO WUFFER.CA - Home of the BC 8's imports all of the PhoenixMotorsport parts for the E31 8-Series so I am sure he could supply them even if not from stock. He can be contacted through the site or at [email protected]

I know this is an old (but outstanding!) thread, but I have a couple of questions:

1) What is the torque spec for the pivot bolt that runs through the middle of the lower control arm bushing? I've been searching for a long time, and can't find it anywhere.

2) What type of grease did you use on the control arm bushing? I don't plan to use polyurethane bushings - I'm going with the Meyle's - so I'm wondering what type of grease, if any, I would need to use?

Thanks!

No grease on the Meyle's, they're pressed in just like the OEM bushings.

Thanks for the info on the grease.

Now, about that pesky torque spec... Anybody? It's a pretty critical part, so I would think it would be a pretty bad idea to just guess...

I would be able to post up the torque specs easily in the past, but BMW changed the tech website around and took away the repair instructions, tech specs etc. Now we gotta go in through a diagnostic session in the new diagnosis equipment to get all that. It is a big pain in the ass and takes up more time than it should in my workday.
