Are these Differential Bushing any good?
Hello All,
I purchased some differential bushings from ECS Tuning HERE, that are listed as "performance bushings" and they appear to be of excellent quality. However, the bolt holes in the new bushings are a full 1/16 of an inch larger than the original BMW bushing holes? The original bushing holes are a fraction shy of 8/16 whereas the new bushing holes are 9/16. Yes, I know 8/16 is half an inch. I just wanted to denote it that way for clarity sake. It's almost as if they were meant for a slightly larger bolt although I've confirmed this is the proper bushing for our 530xi, as listed on their website. I'm fairly used to working with bushings and all of the sleeves are typically meant to be somewhat snug on the bolt. Otherwise, at least very little play which is the case with the original bushings and bolts. I'm considering sending these back and purchasing another set from another vendor unless you can confirm it's not an issue. The OD is fine, btw. Ralph |
