I only planned on refreshing the rear bushings of my car but this is quickly spiraling into a huge "while I'm here" job. I've got a fresh rear subframe with disc trailing arms and am curious about what is needed to get it back into my originally drum brake early model 318i. I'm a fairly new mechanic so a basic run down would be appreciated. If you can suggest anything else I can do while I'm down there, I'm all ears.VidMate Mobdro

Welcome to the zone mate and we need sooooooooooooo much to see your car !!!
Are you wishing to put your rear brakes back to drums or popping discs on ?
