Hi
i 've got a problem with my winter hack ( E28 525e ), I ve just got it up and ruuning , stuck a 731 head / 325 cam and inlet track on it ,
but its got the 50 mph , wheel wobble, really bad,wheel balance is ok , so assume its worn bushs?, which ones to do first ? / how to test them ???
does any know of a good e28 site i could look for answers , seem to remember readying that although rubber bushs look ok they soften with age , leading to wheeel wobble etc ???

:mad:
is the wobble at 50mph, or when you brake?

If it's braking as per the title, I'd look at the brake discs first

apart from that I know nothing about the E28 and I'm just wasting space typing this :D

I think that if the wobble is ONLY at 50mph then discs prob OK

I suspect the thrust arm bushs, replace with a poly bush instead of original.

It worked for me !
