so my e30 decided it wanted to be an e36 today

There is a long stud that hangs down from the body, thats what it mounts to. Hopefully that didnt break or you're in all kinds of pain.

Not really, they're splined and can come out through under the rear seat.

oh my god! I've never seen anything like that; only heard...I am real anxious to see any pictures you can get when you get under there.

The LSD was too much for it.

Looks like something went wrong with the lower mount in your case?

.dayum....just what I was gonna say.... LOL

[dinanm3atl]

Oops. Should have gotten an e36... :shifty

[Nic01101011]

That is some luck. First your shocks coming apart at the track and now this? That is pretty hairy.

LOL I remember that. fuck, im surprised this stupid car hasnt killed me yet

If I had to venture a guess either that long stud broke or the bottom washer on the bushing broke, meaning the worn bushing just slid off the stud.

[fiftytakedowns]

P.S. Ill have a welder wihtin the month just in case

[DeM3n]

Ouch bro. Sucks it went out like that. Hope she's up and running sooner than later.

[Hick]

I've seen that happen on two customer e28's, like Joe said, there's some welding and reinforcement in your future.

the 83 533 in question was the graphit/cardnal in the back of your shop

[ThaiRacer]

lol

E30- -1
E36- 0

It looks like the bracket at the bottom broke. If it was rusted and broke or something, I'm guessing it could work the nut loose and then drop off. Or pull the whole stud out. But then again, the stud coming out would probably break the bracket. Who knows what came first.

I've done 4 car's rear subframe bushing's a couple wacks with a hammer pop's them out no problem. All Canadian car's too. (salt)
