Die laaaa". His reply "No la. A lot of e46 after 100k mileage got this problem. Bushing problem"He jacked the car up and showed me. And guess what, the main big rear axle bush was all cracked up. The smaller bushing was fine but decided to change them all. There are 3 bushings all together - 1 big 2 small. Problematic one is the big one. Anyway I had this checked at my unregular mech at first. He quoted me - RM220 for all 3 bushings and RM200 for labour. I however went to my regular mech who quoted RM230 for labour, but he ask me to go buy parts at BA. The same parts cost me RM134. See how sometimes mechs can potong you?So in total I spent RM400 (RM34 for rear axle oil). But worth the work la. They had to remove a lot of things plus they really had to use their muscles to remove and replace the bushings. Sorry for the long rant. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
