Wishbone bushings

Just finished installing these today and they fell great. No more judder when leaving from a stop (I have light flywheel and stage 2 clutch) and no more drama when braking into a turn.

Bad news is, the bmw ball joint removal tool wouldn't fit my control arms so I had to remove them from the subframe. The good news is, I did it without having to drop the subframe.

I took pictures and will try and post a how to by next weekend with a better review.

Yes. So far they feel much better. The only "proble" is that they bring out how worn the rear bushings are. The car seems to push a little easier at the limit when hard on the gas.
