hi there i have an Hreg 325i e30, when u drive the car under load (when you press the pedal) i get some serious shaking from the rear once u take your foot of its ok....... ive changed all the bushes, two new lsd's, donut, had it tracked and balanced...... but the shaking is still there the bloody thing is doing my head in....

ps... the car has a 60mm drop, 17inch wheels the suspension is only three years old and the thing is i hardly drive the car.... about the rear wheels i was told that there is a slight buckle but that should not affect it......the shaking started when i had the last lsd and donut
changed.

check your prop centre bearing.
Also try some new wheels and check everything is tight.
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!

So the prop has been split! Was it put back together correctly?

i really dont know i asked the mechanic was it put back properly and he said yes, but saying that after i picked up the car from him last time i discovered the gearbox mount bolts loose and on the verg of coming off......

maybe i just need to find a good mechanic? lol
