Can't find anyone who has the proflex bushings in stock.
Anybody know of a supplier who has them in stock?

Thanx
Dan

I have them on my car and I am very happy with them. My car drives and feels better than when it was new.

I got them from: www.waymotorworks.com a NAM sponsor.

I ordered them back in late December and got them installed locally first week of January. It didn't seem to be too difficult to get the Powerflex kits back then.

My factory rubber bushings were gone (51K miles then) and the car's steering wasn't as sharp as it should have been. After the new Powerflex bushings went it, the car came back to life and then some. This is how the car should have come out the assembly line!

I have 70k on my oem bushings and I'm getting some odd tire wear, wandering and really unstable feeling at high speeds.
I looked at the ones that are on there now and they look good. But from pictures I have seen that can be misleading.
I have new tires and wheels and I don't want to put them on if I have suspension problems that could be easily fixed.

So what's a day under the car bustin up some knuckles

Buy em from Bimmerworld. They are the powerflex distributor for the USA.
www.bimmerworld.com

I keep a set here for customer cars. If you can't get them from Bimmerworld I can probably find a box to ship these out in.

Edit* saw that you found a set. Nevermind.
