Go to the dealer, Dusten.
You don't want used sway bushings... | | | | | 08-29-2006, 07:33 PM | #3 | | doesn't care about you. Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 3,925 |

Unfortunately they are back ordered and I have to wait for them to come in from the motherland. Has anyone drilled out their sway bushings and installed grease zerks? I want to make sure they stay greased up. I'll take some pics and post a write up when I get around to it. __________________

I replaced my sways with M-tech sways. I'm not sure if the bushings that came with the M-techs ways were stock or not. Checkout my thread: http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthrea...ight=sway+bars What do you think? Quote: Originally Posted by DustenT Yeah, it turns out they are only $5/each with my BMW CCA discount.

You should not need grease on the rubber bushings. Only the polyurethane ones squeak.
Mine are stock M3 and are just fine with no grease (but I did use a bit of Silicone lube to help instalation). | | | | | 08-30-2006, 03:15 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Portland Oregon Posts: 1,363 |

The brackets already have holes in them, seem like a really simple way to add some additional lubricaiton before each auto-x. __________________

That means it increases the overall wheel rate. | | | | | 08-30-2006, 12:44 PM | #12 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |

Try Energy Suspensions. They cater to the off-road market, but if you know the ID and OD you can fit them in I'm sure.
Then you can grease them, but I'd only do it if they squeak... | | | | | 08-30-2006, 02:14 PM | #15 | | doesn't care about you. Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 3,925 |

Not to open open up a can of worm here but...I was under the impression that the sway bars should move with as little resistance as possible, thus the grease zerk idea. Am I wrong? Or is the resistance from the OEM rubber bushings not enough to be concerned about? __________________
