Looks like it's rear end service time for ti's everywhere haha.

Small update on mine. Today I swung by the garage to plug away on some stuff. We hit a snag after lifting the subframe into the car. Turns out the two nuts I took off for the subframe are totally threadless now. Wish I noticed before position the subframe, now it's sitting on two jacks until I can get those in.

We flipped the subframe bushings over, turns out I put them in upside down. Fortunately this is fixable with Condor bushings.



Here's the whole subframe together. E28 M5 diff, E30 axles, K Sport suspension, Condor Speed Shop bushings all the way around.



I then went to do the engine mounts. Annoyingly the engine mount arms seemed to have given up. I found the passenger side sheered.



So now I need to replace those. This is week three of daily driving my E30, not sure I can keep that up much longer. The ti will be great when it's done, it's just been frustrating having to replace so much that was horribly broken.
