So im moving on a getting an r56..(cough crashed the r50) and I ve been trying to find R56 polyurethane bushings for the control arms. Am I crazy, I cant seem to find them anywhere, gen 2's do still use control arms right?

 

I have Powerflex LCA bushing in my R56. Might be the same part number between 1st gen and 2nd gen. Call up Detroit Tuned and they can set you up.

 

One source I came across with a short search.

I'm a nut on shopping around for the best prices, so there may be cheaper places out there. But there's Minimania with Powerflex if you so desire powerflex.

 

Ah there we go. I assume you have the "street" ones then. Now I just need to find some ball joint ones.

Minimania doesnt have them for the control arms I called over.

 

The Front Powerflex bushings are the same for the Gen 1 and Gen 2 cars we have plenty in stock

Ahh that's good news. Does "tsw" have any poly ball joints coming out.

 

Poly ball joints? what are those?

Ball joints are metal.

My mistake I thought there was some kind of rubber on the bottom. So they don't need to be replaced then.
