Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Did you replace the whole strut/insert/spring/hub? How? If it's pushed your wheels further out, you would probably want to sort out why it has done so before you go rolling the gaurds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thorburn 120 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 did you go to 5 stud? i would be guessing if you did you need to sort out the caster. to do this you will need offset conrol arm bushes, and possibly 96+ m3 conrol arms Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djguranga 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2010 The car still has the original e30 hubs on both sides (4 stud). The work was carried out by Ray @ HellBM. Just wondering if I should go to a suspension specialist or something and get them to check the entire setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
