Quick question Eccentric or standard? Realoem lists 2. What do I need for a 318is?
Cheers.

Std is concentric, but the M3 eccentric is a nice upgrade. It increases the castor. Makes high speed stability slightly better and turn in feel better.
You will need to get your tracking done afterwards but that's good practice after working on the suspension at all really.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've just realised I typed in the wrong thing I meant to ask about the trailing arm bushes
Car's stripped there are many many things need replacing
I get confused
past 9 at night must be getting old

Just get std (concentric) trailing arm bushes.
The eccentric ones are for correcting camber/toe issues on crash damaged cars. People use thm to correct after lowering.. If you haven't been a council estate hero with you lowering it'll be fine...
HTH.

Plus the Eccentric ones are a nightmare to line up right.
Friend did it to his touring abit ago and they spen nearly a day at it between measuring up what they needed and taking off the axles and putting them back on.
He did get a 0 on the slide slip at the mot and has a perfect camber now of 1.5 degrees I think
