Gap in front anti roll bar bushing
So last year I replaced my struts, LCA, and front ARB bushing. I was swapping over to new wheels today and notice that there is a gap about 1/8" between the bushing rubber and the ARB. Is this normal? Should I replace with poly bushings? Why did the bushing fail in only a year?

Did you put on the correct ARB?
Your sig does not say which model Z4 you have.

They may have sold you a bushing for an M or for a car with M suspension. 1mm difference in bar diameter

It looks like I need the 25mm bushing per real OEM. Am I correct in thinking there should be zero gap between the ARB and the ARB bushing? I will probably upgrade to the polyurethane to prevent further wear. |

Any time I have replaced ARB bushings there has been a gap at the split once wrapped around the bar. It tightens up as you torque the bracket down. So no there should not be a gap between the bar and the bushing.
The poly bushings will have a packet of lube supplied. I always throw some white grease on mine to grease them up. I think even if you went with the 24mm bush you would not have an issue and you would definitely not have a gap. I can't believe a new bushing has worn out in one year.
