Refreshing E36 Trailing Arms - Part 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 01. 2019
- I got a smoking deal on an E36 M3 rear end (trailing arms, axles, subframe, etc) and it will be a huge upgrade for my E36 track car project. Part of getting the rear end up to snuff on this build is replacing all of the joints on this E36 trailing arm along with the wheel bearings. All of the work in this video can be performed with the trailing arms on the car but it's easier in my opinion to do the work off the vehicle.
Follow along and I'll show you how to press all of the joints and the wheel bearing out with hand tools. I did use a few special tools in this video and while they are not necessary to making this work it does make the work easier.

You’re so underrated tbh. I’ve learned soo much from you
Great Video! I'm struggling with removing the upper and lower ball joints. What size sockets are you using @ 9:45? Can't make out what you're using to push the bearing through, that definitely looks like a socket used to catch the ball joint. Thanks in Advance.
It's a purpose built tool for the job. I bought this tool kit from Amazon for less than $75.
Loving that special tool to remove that wheel bearing. I want one
Definitely a really useful tool. Especially when removing wheel hubs and wheel bearings on the car since you don't always have a ton of room to work with.
Was there a reason you didn't burn out the trailing arm busing and hammered it out like the subframe bushings ?
Can you give me the size of the hub removal tool?
I suppose the gloves are to drink beer with clean hands??
Great vid! I have an '01 330ci and I'm pretty sure my RTABs are shot (lots of bucking over mid-corner bumps, plus sudden rear wheel steer). Looking to replace all the bushes/balljoints at the rear. Does the trailing arm have to come out for this? And to the rear wheel bearings qualify as a "while I'm in there" replacement even if they aren't done yet?
Thanks!
Thanks man. Yeah, it sounds like you may have worn trailing arm mount bushings, kind of a common issue really. You don't need to have the traling arm off the car to do this work.
@@GarethFoley Thanks ! Also just realised you're the FCP Euro guy !
Is the upper and lower control arm bushing the same?
Yes
Like Armando said, the upper and lower ball joints for the control arms are exactly the same. This is standard on the E36 M3, but can be done to any E36 non ti models as an upgrade. The ball joints I used are p/n 33306852895.
Thank you. Will be refreshing my rear end soon!
E36 has different models the 316i does not get shown by anyone damn useless!!
The 316i is not available in the United States. Furthermore, the 316i uses the exact same trailing arm setup (all E36's do with the exception of the ti models) so I don't understand how this video is "useless" when the suspension design is exactly the same.
Facts!
Does not get shown because the US didn't get it
