Don't know that I can help on the suspension, but that does sound like something to be looked after. Like you, I found an 86 L7 a few months ago for $1000. I wanted it for parts for my 86 535, but now it gets more attention that the 5. I did have to swap the auto tranny out, as the old one was slipping badly, and have done some work on the switches, etc. but so far its been great. 3 days after getting it running I went to New Orleans and back, about 8 hrs R/T, and got about 20 mpg at 80 mph. Very nice ride!
