Subject: 89/535 - rear bushes - All of them including Diff Mount. As the car is Author: attila as BMW-Test-Pilot : member since February, 2006 : 356 posts Posted on: 2008-11-16 19:17:57

coming up to it's 20th Birhtday next year and no log book entries for the rear ever having been touched - I have decided to replace all bushes in the rear end - there is a little wandering at high speed - so beer cans are a must and a bit of tracking on rough road surfaces - yes tire pressure checked every week amd correct.

Qn: Do I need to have car loaded ( petrol and weights ) and on the ground when the final torquing is applied -trailing arm/sway bar/etc..?

Any other Tips or tricks - ta in advance.


The only constant is change.
