It's a pain in the ass for sure.

 

If you saw the amount of things you need to remove, you would say "hell no." That and polyurethane bushings might lead to snap-oversteer ftl.

 

I'm a service advisor at a BMW shop. I see alot of thrust arm bushings and tie rod end bushings being replaced. These cars just seem to eat them up.

 

I've replaced all of mine on the Vigor and the Civic. Subaru's are still like new.

 

I think BMWs rely heavily on their rubber bushings to give their car a more forgiving nature in terms of handling limits, thus why there's so much stress on them.

I want to get polyurethane, but I'm scared of the noises they might cause and how much it might affect the current handling.

 

at least it's not a snapped diff bolt h:
