MOT

[rmoconnor41]

Amongst a number of other issues a friend’s Z3 has failed the MOT on

Nearside Rear Suspension arm corroded and seriously weakened Trailing (5.3.3 (b) (i))

Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))

To get the vehicle back on the road are we looking at sourcing the parts from another Z and how much work is involved?

Thanks

Changing the spring involves taking the old one out and fitting another one, the trailing arm is a bit trickier and can led to a whole lot of other jobs. Might almost be worth taking the back end out and doing all the bushes, depends on how quickly he needs it done.

Thanks where do owners source trailing arm

@spurs fan in a coupe usually has powder coated arms available

I’d go and see Andy with a van . If one arm has gone then the other one won’t be far behind. I also think your friends 2.2 is a Sport ..finding Sport springs can be difficult.

I've got trailing arms both very good used and refurbished.

Aah.

These are for a 1.9 so no good.

You might be better off getting your existing ones properly repaired.

I will pass that on.
Any ideas where?

How much do a set normally sell for?
