Product Engineering

SUBJECT:
Rear Axle Toe Adjustment

MODEL:
318ti, Z3 (1.9 and 2.8 liter)

Situation:
The rear axle trailing arms of the 318ti and Z3 utilize the same bushings as the E30, but the E36 Repair Manual does not describe installation procedures for eccentric bushings for toe correction. Also, the Electronic Parts Catalog does not list the eccentric bushings for these two models.

The eccentric bushings (part number 33 32 9 058 822) used for toe correction in the E30 may also be used in the 318ti and Z3 1.9 and 2.8 liter.

For installation instructions, refer to E30 Repair Manual, pages 33-8 through 33-11 until the E36 Repair Manual is updated.
