<e34> Thrust Rod & Bushings

[Pearson-Franks Family <pearsonf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, David.

Yup.  They also get called upper and lower control
arms.  The uppers have the bushing that when it fails
gives you the shakes.  I strongly recommend the
heavy duty replacement.  In addition, always stay
symmetric:  if you replace a part on one side, do the
other side, too.  Easier to align, etc., and to
remember later what went on!  Also, if one is bad,
and the other has the same miles on it . . . hmmm.

Later, Larry F.
