    This is what I did, that little brake line T turned out to be the most expensive thing on the car yet, lol.

    I'd go ahead and put the differential in that you plan on using for the S52.

    This polyurethane rear bushing kit will fit all BMW E30 models except the xi. The kit includes: 1x differential bushing 2x subframe bushings with new top washers 4x trailing arm bushings Revshift bushing lube Lifetime warranty * The 12mm riser bushings include differential studs and spacers for an additional $25. The d


    Thats all the bushings needed for the subframe, rear trailing arm bushings (rtabs) and differential mount. I suggest getting new bolts also.

    Rear subframe bolts (2) 51718181460
    Rear subframe bolt nuts (2) 33331126136
    Trailing arm bolts (4) 33321136406
    Trailing arm bolt nuts (4) 07129900047
    Rear T brake line junction 34341111435

    Thats what I did about 2.5 years ago and love it. You can go OEM mounts or another brand but R3vShift bushings are great IMHO

    What are all the bushings that need to be replaced? Does anybody have a good parts list for all that should be done? DoeS the exhaust have to come out? I have a vibrating center bearing also. Ugh.
