BMW Technical Q&A, Primarily R65 / Re: Rubber bushing
« Last post by Burt on May 07, 2026, 08:09:05 AM »I had a chat to the right person tonight and the rubber insert that was used here (in Oz) is a part from a tractor (high density rubber) but he was trying to remember which brand it was. Depending on the size, sometimes a thin washer is used against the engine block as well. The torque on the front "bolt" is just starting to squeeze the rubber. Loctite can be used on the nut whilst the rear bolt torque is still the same.
The other option was by Luftmeister which is probably what you have in the US. It was a cup with a rubber insert and then a washer which squeezed inside the cup onto the insert.
I am still looking for the diagram which will be around somewhere. I know which folder it is in, I just need to find the folder!
I hope this helps.

If it is something attached to the rear leg attachment nut, then just ignore it.
