Superpro Antiroll bar bushes

Hi zone

This is on a 325i cabriolet

I'm having a nightmare of a job getting these Bushings in, I've got a set of superpro bushes to put in. I know these are notoriously a pain but these seem even harder!

Anyone have any tips on getting these in? They're lubed up to the hilt!

Whine on rear

Hey zone.
My e30 has a loud whine on the rear that changes pitch alot I'm assuming it has something to do with the diff. The oil is old in it but I wouldn't think it would be doing that. Is it the bearing? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Fuel restriction on roundabouts

I don't think so. It's an 87 325i just had a brand new in line pump put in. I've had the injectors cleaned and the rail off. Would the fuel pressure regulator affect it?
