I killed my rear subframe bushings :P Loemforder any good?
I'm looking at Lemfoerder, about $17 on Autopartsway. Anyone ever use that brand, or is there something better for a decent price?

I picked up the Powerflex subframe/control arm/swaybar bush package a few week ago. Only have the CABs installed to date.

You can get solid rubber Meyle HD for about 35-40 apiece, powerflex for 530, or Armstrong distributors poly bushings (basically same as Powerflex) for 285. All are good choices, as well as lemforder

I just replaced mine (Meyle HD) and have the tool available. There are two tool manufactures that exist, the one I bought uses machined cups that take any guesswork out of this - works great. Happy to see these go on to the next user.
See my post elsewhere about who, where, when, why & how of the these bushings (US English) or bushes (UK English). Bottom line: if you have an E53 and they haven't been replaced, it's time to do so ...

Professor, Ricky Bobby has the subframe tool as well, check his sig.
Lemforder is OEM for a lot of BMW bushings and it wouldnt surprise me if they were in this case. I wouldnt hesitate to use them.
