- Here's a Tool Tuesday for you guys. I love love this set. Features a E46, E36, E85 Rear Trailing Arm Bushing (RTAB) removal and installation tool. I've had it for years.
Link; (Cheaper price than mentioned, but still the KTC brand!) Also it's a discontinued kit, so buy while you can: www.ebay.com/i...
Thx for info about this toolkit, i bought the same bc of your recommendation. ❤
Does it work with E9X chassis ? i want one , but none says specifically
Will I get clunking rear noise when these bushings go out?
👍👍 nice video man keep ‘em coming
Good info and tool kit
Any idea if this set will work for the subframe bushings as well?
I’d also like to know this? My diff bushing coo coo
same here im about to replace my subframe bushings
I bought a similar set and also replaced my subframe bushings. This kit will not work. I ended up getting a floor press from HF. Other methods include drilling or burning them out.
@@Joe_Bader dammit alright thank you for letting me know I’ll get a floor press
Appricate you taking the time to make the video dude. Are 318 compact the same? Or does this work on them? I think their rear suspension is more like the old e30 from what I know.
Good question, me being over in the US we didn't receive compacts, or any 4 cylinder E46 for that matter. So I have yet to get my paws on one to see the similarities. Unless you're meaning E36.
Great info Tyler!! Good job on the video, Can the e46 M3 bushings fit on the stock rear arm?
It's the same bushing across all E46. You buy a second one meant for top, fits bottom. Same diameter.
Question? I have a 2000 323i with 267k miles on it . When I drive it down highway like 50 plus mph the front end wanders around like you were talking about. I thought possibly the steering rack was worn in the middle position? But could it also be bushings in front that causes this also ? I recently replaced the lollipop bushings the rest are stock still
There's going to be a few things that could use a good going over at this mileage. Steering shaft u joint and the flex coupler at rack being some.
Mine was due to bad rear trailing arm bushings! The back wheels wobbles just a bit and it’ll throw the front end off. I replaced steering rack, control arms, inner outer tie rods and it still did the same. Came to realize it was the rear suspension that would kick the car sideways and throw off the front end
Will this removal the subframe bushings too?
I've personally never tried it. When it comes to removal, you can either A.) Heat up the subframe and pound out the bushings, as the bushings exterior is rubber coated. When it begins to melt, they can slip right out. Or B.) Drill out the rubber of bushings, tap out the bushing center, then take sawzall and slice outer race of bushing then tap it out. I've done both of these methods. When it comes to reinstall, we typically opt for poly bushings so they install by hand/dead blow hammer. I used aluminum bushings on my personal car, I used a wheel bearing installer press set.
Where can i buy this today?
This company no longer makes this tool set. There are others out there, though. Search online.
