BMR's website says that that arm is compatible with FE3 and FE4 suspension; doesn't mention FE6. Maybe an FE4 bolt is required?

Talked to BMR. Was told it's just an assembly snafu and the wrong metal collar was put in there. The correct one is being priority shipped. Great customer service

Yes, and I am sorry! The Sleeves were cut from the wrong material, then Cad Plated and put into the Arms/Bushings. I thought I had caught them all, but obviously some got sent out with the wrong ones.

Failshift, I packed your Sleeves myself and they are on the way!

I appreciate it. Shit happens. I was just asking on here in case it was just a suspension based thing. Because I know the 1LE bolts have all been larger heads at the least than the ones the instructions for my subframe, trailing and toe rod have been.

Always happy with the top notch products though

Hmmm, the 1LE bolts should all be the same size as the SS bolts. What do you mean when you say the bolts were larger?

Just on all the fittings in general is there a need/amount of time that I should regrease/add grease to the fittings?

Depends on how you drive the car, how often and road conditions. On my car I try to do it every 3 months or so. Just remember to grease them up when you do oil changes!

Low miles. But hard driving when it does get driven. Sounds like a good staple to follow

Buttoning it back up. Only suggestions would be maybe amend where it says "use a screwdriver to pick out the bushing housing" that was in no way/shape/form possible.

Cut a sliver out of it with an electric saw. Then punched it out with a chisel. But it took me an hour on the first one to figure that out. Second took 30min. Third was in and out in 10min
