Sway bar bushings do need to have a bit of a compression fit. I find that a spritz of Lemon Pledge makes the parts go together better. BMW bushings have the diameter of the bar molded into the rubber. Measure your bar to see if you have the right bushings. If you don't have BMW bushings, get some. This is no place for plastic. - -TC - -- Ted Crum tedcrum@domain.elided ------------------------------
