BTW..... I am NOT looking to replace the BALL JOINTS......

I AM looking to replace the Lower Control Arm Bushing (Passenger side)

The bushing in question is in between #16 and #17 in the diagram.

I know Powerflex makes replacement bushes...

You'd want to do all four if you went down this path.

Bushing relief
 

Thank youz all !

THAT'S what I needed !

:)

I have powerflex going into mine. The OEs are shot so no sense in replacing them with the same stuff. Don't want to go back in there again

If the OE part lasted 10+ years, so will a new OEM/OE replacement. I'd just put one of those in knowing it'd never need redoing. But I left my buckboard days back a bunch of years with my lowered '76 2002 with Bilstien Sport shox and cut springs. YMMV etc.

As mentioned the bushing are available for the lower swing arm just not from BMW (:rolleyes:)

OP - Or anyone else...

What are the symptoms of bad swingarm bushings?

I've replaced all of the integral links, control arms, and ball joints on the rear but the rear camber and toe are still awfully out of spec.

That's a symptom of bad swing arm bushings. One of the bolts in the swing arms is used to set the toe.
