Hello can somebody help me? I have an e30 320 and my nearside rear wheelbolts have come loose 3 times on 2 sets of rims.
The first time it happened i thought the bloke i bought it off didnt tighten them up properly so i tightened them up and all was ok for 8 months when it happened again and then 2 months later it happened again.
Now i know the threads in the hub are buggered but i am having trouble finding a hub as i dont know excactly what i am looking for,Is it a seperate unit or is it part of the halfshaft or trailing arm and does anyone locally(cornwall) have what i need. :?

Pardon my ignorance i havent been on the bmw scene for long i've just made the changeover from fords.

Cheers Darren[/b]

she is white with a supposedly factory fitted full mtech 2 kit and leather interior and soon to be on a set of 16" 100+ jet alloys.

Here it is a few months after i bought it parked by the sea at newquay headland with the headland hotel in the background.The nasty venoms have been replaced with BK604's since the photo.

if you find out the postage whipsey i will take them off your hands providing the postage isnt too pricey,just looked on ebay and there is an m3 5 stud conversion with struts and all and he is charging £20 postage should cost you about £10-£15 to post i reckon.
