Quick question

When decelerating the steering wheel starts to judder, this only happens when decelerating to a standstill ie at a junction.

Am I right in saying I probably need new bushes?, think i've had this before and this sorted it.

Cheers

Worn control arm bushes are a common cause of what you describe, but not the only cause.
Very few things should need replacing twice in the average ownership period of an E30. Where did you get the last bushes from?

Ah, I see! Worth changing them for E30 M3 ones while you're at it. £23-75 for a genuine BMW pair, delivered to your door, from Cotswold BMW, in our genuine parts forum.
