E46 M-Sport Cab Tramlining

[Roger645]

Mate just bought an 06 E46 m-sport cab and complains it tramlines a lot, tyre pressures are ok. Car is fine on good quality flat road.

Is this common, any well know tweaks to cut it down a bit?

Thanks

Roger

The suspension bushes are worn - I'd bet my life on it. Mine was doing the same, replaced the bushes (which are a known week point) and it's been perfect ever since. Sounds bad, but it's not a massive job.

It's only done 10k, would they go so quick?

The bushes might be a problem if it has only done 10k in 4 years, as they will have hardened and perished a bit from lack of use.
Having said that, it depends on what car your mate had before - lots of modern cars tramiline when fitted with wide low profile tyres, regardless of make or model.

It's an 06, so not that old
