Hello first time on site and webb. I have had my 1980 280i since feb 2002, the inside of my rear tyres going bold, could it be warn springs (350mm when off the car) or is it bushers. Can any one help.

Sounds like the alignment's out, easy enough to get checked. It's usually the front that's out though, if the wear was uneven when you got the car it could be that the previous owner swapped the tyres front to back - that had happened on mine.

Cheers,
JSG.

Same happened to my 280 but has been put right quickly and cheaply - just a tracking problem.

I have replaced the rear radius arm mounting this has pulled the wheels in nicely.

Thanks David
