Had a lot of trouble changing trailing arm bushings on my Eta. Seems I've bent the right trailing arm -- on reinstall, it doesn't line up AT ALL.

Looking to buy good used right rear trailing arm...

Well, I've personally met a 87 325is and 87 325es, both manual, who had the rubber biscuits. Google anecdotes lead one to believe *ALL* E30's have them. I kinda thought if it was common not to have...

My 1986 325 (build 10/85) automatic has no flex-coupling in the driveshaft. The transmission has a 4-bolt output flange, and the driveshaft likewise, so it's not a case of being bolted together...

Hey, what kind of price range do you need? How about Air Compressor, electric lift, pressure brake bleeder, garage floor tiles? Large tool chest, on wheels?

Rear wheel bearing tool? Short shift...
