hi, so I have a 1998 BMW Z3 2.8 and I want to replace all of the bushings of the car. Does anybody have like a list of all the bushings I need to replace and possibly where to get them like is there like a kit they sell to replace all the bushings all around the car? Today I replaced the rear disc brakes with a new ones and I saw most of the bushings, if not all of them like in really bad conditions, so I want to replace them all. Thank you.

The two sets of bushes that affect handling the most are front control arm bushes and rear beam bushes. Fit this type of front bushes, M3.

Rear beam you can use standard, or poly. There are how to’s on here for the rear, can be done without removing the beam. If you do remove it, allows replacement of the trailing arm bushes. Those are a little more involved to get out, easiest way is to heat them and wind them out. Again, loads of info on here will come up in a search.
Im guessing you’re in the States?
www.rockauto.com would be the one stop shop for everything.

honestly, taking into account the time I've spent doing work on the car on my own, I would rather have a mechanic do it for me. I was just looking for like a list of bushings I would need to get, I've heard that oem are better than the poly ones. thanks
