They are the original bolts of doom !!!
2 ea side. 6 mm hex But clean them inside and out , spray with Wd40 or equiv, hammer the hex socket in so its well seated in the head of the bolt…….and hope they undo !!!
Heat will help……

I had two that rounded off and managed to get them out using an Ebauer extractor set from screwfix or toolstation.

Hey All,
I have got a refurbished rear beam and also 2 refurbished trailing arms , I want to buy the bushes relevant so they can all be put in and then we can do the double shuffle with my one easier than farting around. I just don't want to be buying this there and then another thing some wear else etc..
Do you kind of know what i mean ?

As per Lee's suggestion,

MEYLE HD for the rear axle bushes, Genuine BMW differential bush , either MEYLE or Febi trailing arm bushes,

**Note Lemforder were the original manufacturer for all the rear end bushes

Lemforder are now ZF.

I made up a little cross-reference list. It covers a lot of the common parts, but it still needs most of the suspension bushes...


You can get the Lemforder part numbers from the aftermarket ZF website that is one of the hyperlinks in the list...


Use your VRM and tick all the boxes, then press "Search" and you will get the full list of parts from the ZF family, along with their part numbers.

Useful cross reference list, good point to note Lemforder are part of the ZF group, I worked for them for 15 years.
