[QUOTE="moots, post: 41383, member: 219"] My experience was on the e30 (the rear subframe design is identical)where I had the axle carrier aka subframe bush,replaced.The symptom was noise.The whole rear drivetrain noise was transmitted into the cabin,which I initially thought came from the diff. Don't know about whether the camber was off/not. I took 1.5 days to DIY this @ home,taking my own sweet time.Subframe was removed from car and brought to a machine shop to have the new bushes pumped in.I did not replace the trailing arm bushes as it still looked good and solid.The subframe bushes was however,torn. The result was tremendous.The loud howl at speed(120km/h)was eliminated totally.Yes it was labour intensive but I did it DIY because I like and enjoy doing it and not because I had to.... :) [/QUOTE]
