e34 Bushing in rear are shot. I have a 91/525i with a clunk in the rear. It was toque related so I figured it was rubber. Rear end hangs from a sub frame and that sub-frame is connected to the frame in a few spots. My question is. What is the name of the bushing I am looking for? It is right in front of the rear wheel, it's on a big bolt with what looks like a rubber bushing that connects the sub-frame to the frame and when its gone the sub frame moves up and down on the bolt causing a knock when you let off the accelerator and hit it again. You can see the sub frame move when you rock the car. It moves a considerable amount up and down 3/4" I think I need both of these mounts as well as some other rubber in the rear. Any suggestions?
