I'm having a hell of a time tracking down OEM rubber sway bar bushings for my ZHP.

I've so far managed to track down these part numbers:

33556751269 - front (23.5mm)
33551138104 - rear (18mm)

I've seen many disclaimers on many sites about the rear number being "not for sport suspension" but I haven't been able to find a number for the bushings used with our sport suspension.

Can anyone here shed some light on if I've managed to find the correct part numbers or not?


Thanks..

ECStuning does have the rear part number (33551138104) but other sites say this is not for cars with the sport suspension even though it's 18mm. ECS has no such disclaimer. Confusing. :(

When I plugged in my car to RealOEM.com, the part numbers you listed are the part numbers RealOEM gave me. I'm not sure what our sway bar sizes are though.

Awesome; thanks for your input. :) the stock ZHP bars are 23.5mm front and 18mm rear according to my research.

Correct.

Technically I measured the front bar at 23.7mm and rear at 18.3mm. But the front bushing is stamped with a "23.5" on it, so you should order 23.5mm and 18mm bushings. This is on my 2003 330i ZHP sedan

I just replaced the front sway bar bushings on the wife's car.

23.5 is correct

Old rubber is that why you changed them?

Correct. New rubber is much stiffer
