I just picked up my first BMW...'91 318is...
I need to replace the shocks and rear bearings it seems. After reading thru numerous posts and getting quite confused between the 325 and 318 guys, I figure i'll just make my own post and hopefully contribute for future searchers.
Again I'm new to the BMW parts world. How difficult is it to remove/replace the rear wheel bearings. Any DIYs / what tools are required or should I just take it to a shop. In that case, can anyone recommend a shop in Northern NJ.
Being that I need new shocks, I was going to do a sportier suspension anyway. I'm leaning towards Bilstein Sports and H&R Sport Springs, for a daily driver-comfortable ride. Where is the cheapest/reliable place to get them?
If you feel that I left out other needed suspension items along with what I mentioned, please suggest, I'm welcoming any helpful input you guys can give me.
