330ci cornering

[mwy1964]

My 330ci has now exceeded 100k miles and to date has given me no issues...
However in the last few weeks I have noticed that when cornering hard to the right the L/H rear corner seems to dip further on the suspension travel than the R/H and the traction control flashes continuously until you straighten up... This only happens when cornering very hard though, otherwise it does not manifest itself...

Interestingly it has just passed an MOT last week and had a BMW service and check over on Wednesday - No problems found. The rear of the car appears to sit normally etc...

I have read of problems with broken rear springs etc... Any ideas of what to check for...?

Thanks in advance..

Sounds as if the bushes are getting a bit long in the tooth... 100k is a long time

Yes, but that would of required the tec to leave the keyboard and actually get his fingernails dirty.

Get the rear springs, track control arm bushes, and rear shock top mount bushes checked. The track control arm bushes could do with a change at 100k miles if they've never been changed before anyway.

Thanks for your help so far... Should have added the front end bushes have been changed...
