    E34 trailing arm help!

    So I picked up a 93 525it which the rear hub was stripped so I pulled a trailing
    Arm off a e34 535 sedan they both have the large bearing but the cv flange
    For the m30 car is larger I pulled them out and the original flange
    From the it is a few mm shorter I'm wondering if I can just swap the cv flanges

    I'm thinkin the axles are x amount of mm longer on the m30 car
    And shorter on the 525it so theoretically since the splines are the same and the flange bolts up they should swap out I'm just worried it won't tighten all the way down

      Huh?
      Just swap the trailing arm and run the 525 axle...
      Or are you saying the trailing arm flange is different?

        I swapped the Ta from the m30 car, the diff flange was for a larger axle so I swapped the axle flange from the original Ta that was installed on the car. It all bolted up and both Ta use the larger size bearing so it should be to interchange the 2 flanges

          Should be able to swap out the flanges from the 535 diff centre and use them with the 535 cv shafts.

          Flanges just pop out with a lever, aka screwdriver..
