E55 Steel Lower Control Arm Bushings

Hello, Fellow W211s I got an E55 180k and just bought some SL55 wheels and looks like after a few days of using them my front Lower Control Arm bushing were shot, because I went from a 225/45/18 to a 255/40/18 🤗 ( BTW Best thing I could have done, car rides amazing, also amazing cornering and stability )

Well after doing alignment found out they were shot, and browsing for replacement. I found there it’s such thing as Steel Lower Control Arm Bushings.
here are a few pages.

Now, Does anyone know the sizes of the Factory Lower Control Arm Bushings?
I would really appreciate your help, as well as for future generations that want to upgrade to Steel instead of rubber.

This place is a joke.
Sounds like a bad idea. Use the oem bushings. They should last another 100k miles and you'll maintain the factory MB ride quality.

The 180k of wear did it. Not the wheels. You need more then just those bushings. All front rubber.
