Hey guys,

I have a nasty knocking noise from the rear of my car - I had Raw Motorsport look at it over the weekend at the track, and it turns out to be the rear trailing arm bushes.

Is this a job I can tackle on my own on my driveway, or is it another one of those bugger-of-a-jobs that I would be better to let Raw do?

Is there anything I should know before attempting it?

Ta!

Alex, I used the wiki extensively plus some help, and it took a few days but it's certainly doable. Loads of issues / solutions in the tech section.

My trials are here:

http://cookracing.co.uk/index.php/e30-3 ... conversion
http://cookracing.co.uk/index.php/e30-3 ... n-4-wheels

Might explain in human terms what a bitch this is,but it's doable over 2 or three weekends even for a spanner like me! Plus it gives you time in between to double check things on the zone :D
The story so far... http://www.cookracing.co.uk/

Also please help the race budget by watching some videos :) https://www.youtube.com/cookracinguk
