350i trailing arm pins & bushes replacement - big job?

[sprevett]

anyone done it? the bushes on mine look very tired and the handling has become 'interesting'....

No,not a big job,just make notes of spacers when you are taking it to pieces,if your hub and arm are the one piece flavour make note of the shims on the driveshaft and make sure they all go back.

The nuts holding the bush mountings onto the chassis can be a bugger to get off, quite often it's better just to snap them if too rusty.

When putting in new ones sometimes you have to file a corner off the plate to get it in the hole.
