So I'm re-vamping my E30 suspension, front end no problem, CAB's, control arms, tie rod ends, springs, shocks etc. For the rear, springs, shocks, IE shock mounts and of course IE TAB's.
I did one side at a time, got the left (drivers) side done, not a whole lot of fun to get the bushings out or get the arm back on with new bushings, but its done. I went to pull off the right side and after everything is disconnected I tried to remove the right or outside bolt and it won't come out. It interfers with the spicket for the gas tank. The metal part where the hose from fuel filler to the tank attaches?? WTF? I removed the hose as well and it still wont come out.
Has anybody had this issue? Am I just retarted? Or was it because it was 2am? I looked at for a while and couldn't see how it could come out.
Also, the bushings were very tight and had little to no play. Amazing for a car with 300K on it.
Any advise would be appreciated, I put the car back together for now but would like to put the right side bushings in at some point.
