Review on πŸ”§ Dorman 905-801 Front Lower Suspension Control Arm Bushing for BMW Models (2 Pack) - Enhanced with Black Color for Optimal Performance by Douglas Irwin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not long, spend a little more

I put them on 3 months ago after my steering wheel started shaking badly when braking or driving over potholes and bumps in the road surface. They seemed solid at first and I was so pleased with the quality that I almost gave them a good review given the affordable price. However, after about 3.5 months, I returned to the same symptoms. After examining the control levers, I found that the rubber piece on the hub had come loose and failed, again causing the same symptoms. The rear rubber part fell off the bushing and landed somewhere on the side of the road. I was able to temporarily fix it as best I could by gluing the remaining parts with superglue, but now I'm looking for a replacement. Be careful as other manufacturers use the same rubber inserts on the front and back of the hub. I would NOT recommend this part as a replacement.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
