Hi. Im after just some suggestions really. I was out in my e46 330d just now, its open diff so doesnt really go sideways much but spins up. I went round a small roundabout and give it some beans and the car went into a real nice smooth drift. Drove off as normal but now my steering wheel is squint and my tracking really bad. I cant understand, I didnt mount a kirb or nowt.

Poked my head under car and around wheel and its possible my rear bush has pulled out towards front a little. Not sure but one may have. Is this possible? I dont know how they are fitted or pressed? Nee to e46 scene.
:)

E46's, being the budget turds they are, like to rip boot floors out for fun
