A squeak from the rear of my 316 Touring has been driving me mad. I'm now convinced it's the rear bushes.

Does anyone have a diagram/list of the required parts. How expensive are they? I don't need poly bushes.

Cheers

Cheers Dan.

Don't think it's the subframe bushes as there's no wandering. The squeak happens on anything other than a smooth road (that's most of the time then) & particularly on roundabouts. Thought it might be the exhaust mounts at first.

Not as many bushes as I thought - haven't looked to see if it has a rear antiroll bar !!!
