I have an '01 325i with 210,000 miles on it. I am placing an order to replace all four wheel bearings, rotors, pads and rubber lines with braided steel lines. I'm curious if, with the high mileage on it, I should replace the rear axles while I'm in there. They need to come out in order to replace the bearings so figured this would be a good time to do it. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.
'01 325i - Bare bones & fun to drive... Sport Package, Sunroof, CD Player & Rear Fold Down Seats with Ski Bag. Added H&K springs & Bilstein shocks. No unnecessary frills. Sit down, buckle up, shut up & hold on.
Buy the GKN boot kits and rebuild (clean and regrease) them, pretty simple task after getting them out of Rear Trailing Arms/bearings.

It would be much easier to replace them with used low mile OEM GKN's from car-part.com or ebay.
But honestly if they arent ripped or vibrating, I wouldn't worry about replacing them.
