What's the proper/real name for a push strut? I haven't found the term on the Net. Apparently, I need to replace cracked bushings. I haven't had the "opportunity" to work on suspension yet so I don't know the lingo.
Thanks!

 

I think lots of folks would love to help you out.... But you might need to go into more detail about what you are talking about....
One good tip..
Realoem.com is a great place for mini/BMW skematics, part names, part numbers, and dealer recommended prices...free. Just put in you car info, the go to the area of the car/system, and in a few clicks, you will have the names, numbers, etc of almost anypart on your car!!
Good luck and welcome to NAM!!

 

I'm guessing you might mean the control arm bushings (common issue) - Try this thread (and also all the way at the bottom of that page for related threads)

Or the strut mount bushings (also common, but easier to repair)...

Good Luck!

 

i am guessing you mean front strut mount bushing?
Are they cracking/tearing?
