Folks, so I've discovered the rattle in the back is not due to shock mounts, heat shields, parking brake cables nor bits of change in the spare tire. It's a broken diff. mount--at least the lower bushing in it. This wasn't too hard on my 320i of yore, the mount can't be more than $50. Has anyone done this? Any advice for doing it on your own vs. a shop. I wonder if a new one can be installed without detaching the drive shaft. I can't imagine a dealer willing to do this on a 98k car--even with the CPO. thanks for the advice--B |
