Hey folks, so have have fully disassembled the front suspension and steering components, and have pressed out all the bushings. I am ready to reassemble and press in new bushings.

Was going through all the parts I have ordered to complete the job and have a question regarding the front tension rod bushings. The ones I was sent don't seem to be the same size as the ones that were on the car. The diameter and circumference are the same but the thickness is off by a few cm.

Will these work? I ordered part number 31121123552 from an eBay seller selling NOS replacements.

Alternative bushings can be sourced from Bimmerworld for 2x the price but look like the ones I had in the car previously.

Got it, thanks @sfdon. I hit him up to see if he could have sent me one of the Maserati bushing sets by mistake.

If anyone else has any comments or thoughts on fitment of the replacement bushings please LMK.
 
It's the correct bushing. I have a box of them here.

We install them every month.
