    Default Rear thump on my '94 740iL

    My wifey's 740 has a thump in the rear when going through a ump, even a slight one. It sounded like the rear shock bump stop slap. The local stealership said that my rear wishbone bushings were cracked. I looked a ETK and Ido not see where a wishbone looking suspension piece will be. Where is this wishbone?

    I have not heard of a wishbone on an E32.
    Ask him for the part number, then we will see what he means.
    Is that a 740i or iL?

    It's a 740iL, Shogun. I had the stealership print itnd it was not even close to what have on th car eve tough I told himtha it was a 740iL with the LAD rear suspension.
    Could it be the bump stop since the "slap" is not as pronounced if the car is loaded with passengers in the rear?
