ride height

[E30k]

i hope some one can put some light on this the drivers side of my car sits lower than the other side from the rear i have changed all springs shocks and all the bushs at the front and the rear beam mount bushs also i was thinking could worn out trailing arm bushs cause this any info will be helpful

Worn trailing arm bushes would affect the ride height, but are extremely rare.
Have you checked that the rubber spring pads at each end of the springs are in good condition, and that they are of the same thickness?
Problem isn't necessarily at the rear.

interesting point about the pads will look at them this week end do you if different pads were fitted to different models or were they all the same thanks for the info

There are different thickness of pads around, but I'm not sure what comes from what.
Last back end I rebuilt was a 316i touring, which had very thin pads. It now has much thicker ones, which probably came from a four cylinder saloon.

looks like some hunting around is in order but still info is helpful see what happens on the week end cheers
