I'm looking at a '95 525iT right now with 44K on the odo. It has a shimmy under normal braking from about 40mph. BMW inspection says it's the thrust arm bushings, but is 44K to low for this to happen. Should I be suspicious of this car because of this?


I just had the flex-disc replaced, and now when I hit any speeds above 40MPH the cars shakes like it is coming out of it's skin. Besides tires what could be the most common problem? Any help?
