if you don’t have the proper bushing tools drink before, during and after. I made this work by creating my own jigs but i’m telling you having the proper tools to do this job would have made it easier
one question: Do I drink a pint before I start off on the project or after?
honestly if i was to do it over again i’d spend the money and buy the bushing install tool kit for the BMW it would be way easier. I spent so much time trying to figure something out it was insane. this was not a fun job at all trust me
You’re videos are awesome and helpful. I have a question. Are you able to provide information on exactly what hardware you needed to purchase to get you along the job aside from the Ball Joint Press and Bushing Driver tool kit? Thanks!
if your talking about the bushings that your subframe sets on, I do not have a video on that, as this video shows the rear bushing that causes your rear end to move forward
hey budy changed the ccv on my e46 330 xi vac leak is gone runs good again but i notice i need to chang my differential bushings cuz my rear diff seems to be moving on me do u have a video on that and if u do can u send me a link its better to contact me @ manuelg626@yahoo.com but if u dont feel like it contact me @ g mail from ur link thanks
my bmw has had most of the common issues with it already, there will still be more videos in the future dealing with this car
love the vids!! my car has similiar problems. ive watched probably 15+. thanks for the help. you deserve a beer
Thanks for the video man I have a question plz I have 2003 bmw 530i I just bought it a month ago and only 2 days ago I had to brake so hard anyway when pushed the brakes too had the car mad a big loud clicking sound until the car stopped so the second day I wanted to try again and it only does that when I brake so hard can u help me plz
Thanks, I’ll never own a BMW. Great video!
yes except you guys in the U.K drink way more than Canadians, I can’t keep up with you guys!!!!!
Beer time oh yeah , did you know that means the same in the uk
you must always have beer before and during any task hahahahah
your a millwright as well or a dual ticket millwright/heavy duty
Beer isreallygood before any task, ha ha
I’m in Edmonton,I have 2000 323i sedan and I do the same thing you do but no videos, I enjoy watching yours.
Dude we should get together some time and drink beer and talk heavy duty /millright
Awsome man
no the ball joint press you should be able to find for around 50-75 bucks for the kit, it’s well worth the money. I don’t mind the Old Milwaulke it’s better than the beer i was just drinking in Cuba for the past week
Hey Jerry another great video,I plan on doing the ball joints on my truck soon is the balljoint press expensive? Old Milwaulke beer? We used to drink that in High SchoolLOL.
Hilarious lmao great video though. I actually replaced both lower rear control arms last week. That was the worst job ever i had to disconnect differential, axles, drive shaft and fight it to squeeze bolt out like 8 hours total both sides
it would be one of the last years of the E53 or early models of the E70, it all depends I’d like to find one that needs work and fix it up.
That would be cool if you got an X5 would you get the older style(E53) or the new E70? My grandmother has a 2007 3.0si and she loves it. But just be prepared cause they are known for the electric water pump failing. Luckily it hasnt happend to us yet. Fingers crossed.
