Any help much appreciated 

Hi Florian

Welcome to the Forum

Can you not re-bush the trailing arms lots of Poly Bush kits available, or is the issue rust?

Dave

Rust unfortunately and have been told it cannot be welded for MOT reasons. Having no luck with eBay etc.

Damn the tin worm

Have you tried the BMW specialist Dismantlers like Quarry Motors (they have helped me a couple of times) Google BMW Dismantlers there are a number in the UK

Is it the Sub Frame or the trailing arm ? May be off the car a specialist Fabricator could help ? We did this with a friends W210 Mercedes

Dave

An after thought have you talked to BMW UK they have a Classic's section

You want the drivers side rear on a right hand drive car?

Hi Dave,

 

Thanks for that still no luck unfortunately.

it is the trailing arm which comes as one part with hub assembly etc.

BMW UK are quoting £1200 for a new part. Have been told a used part should be around £150. So would like to avoid if possible! 
 

surprised that there isn’t anything aftermarket available!

Yes! Seems like RHD and LHD parts are interchangeable however.

I have a pair that I was hoping to get powder coated that I may split.

Was really only after the right side but if you need them gone as a pair I’d be happy to take both. 
 

After them as soon as possible really the poor thing has been off the road for a month!
