Whiteline Rear Toe Link Bushings?

cpt97m3 · 11-24-2013, 09:17 PM

Has anyone tried the Whiteline rear toe link bushings? I haven't found any mention of them in the forums. I know a lot of people just get a new adjustable toe link, but I'm running under SCCA autos rules that don't allow the arm to be replaced, but do allow aftermarket bushings. I'm going to give these a try over the holidays unless someone has some better suggestions.

I have the powerflex ones in the toe arms and they did a difference to tighten the rear making it less prompt to wiggle around. I then installed the subframe inserts also from powerflex and my 130i feels very solid at the rear. Just perfect for DD. I can go very fast around corners with irregular pavement and bumps and the rear stays planted.

How was the install? Possible as a DIY?

Did you get the Whiteline diff bushings installed finally? Do they squeak, and do they need regular maintenance (lubrication)?

They arrived over the holidays, and I ordered a pair of used toe links on ebay, but I have not yet installed them. I'll see if I can at least press out the old bushings on the ebay arms, and get the whiteline bushings installed. Then once that goes well I can swap out the arms with the ones on the car.
