I overhauled the entire suspension on my E36. Nightmare of a job, massive, loved it, hated it, shed tears and blood on multiple occassions, car feels wonderful for it.
I’m almost done doing the whole rear end suspension on my E36, refreshed all the bushings and ball joints, used e46 330 trailing arms so I can go with the e36 M3 axles and diff. Your videos taught me a lot about how to replace all these damn bushings. A shop press is one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Sometimes you have to improvise and thank you for sharing all your knowledge, much appreciated!
Part octopus, part chipmunk, part Billy Connoly. Tune in for fun and games with Pamo. Love the video, useful, informative and funny as always
Awesome video , saved $500 doing it myself using this video . Much appreciated
Looking at work you just did yourself enjoying the battle you had hours ago. But it’s even better when you see others cut the same corners like yourself, and being half ass prepared as well with tools and what not 😂 nice vid bud
Sometimes you've just got to get the job done.
I like to use threaded rod to pull in/out the bush. Good source for strong threaded rod is from a scissor jack most cars use. Threaded rod from scissor jack is designed for heavy load and comes with thrust bearing as well.
ahah nice idea, definitely using this, all the threaded rod i can find round me is mild steel and crap and i wasnt even considering it but this should work
hey bro cool vid helped alot just wanted too tell you your airline is leaky hope you can sort it out and get it fixed
Here I am on a Saturday afternoon thinking the same thing haha. Good work Cheers 🍻
Thanks for this video... I'm embarking on a full bushing/ball joint replacement on the rear of my '95 M3 and I watch all your videos for tips on how to maintain my car. Thanks for the time and effort you put into these videos! Cheers!
Thank you very much, I hope it goes well and if there's anything you need help with - just shout and I'll try and assist.
Just got myself the same bush puller. Thanks Pamo!
bloody nice one Pamo
Been following your E36 videos and they have been tremendously helpful. Thanks dude!
Thank you.
Great video,,,,entertaining and informative....thanks mate
Thx mate every video you upload here is very helpful
Thanks
Lovely. Looks like a ballache lol
i have to do this soon, always think you do the hardwork so we dont have to lol, cheers for the informative vid and the humour 👍
Thanks 👍
Nice vid best 1 i saw i details in the book i says you should measure the bushing before removing and use same measurement when installing new 1
good tip to take the boot off first, ive ripped one from leaving it on, SUPERGLUE!! lololol
I made special adapter for replacing this bushing. It can remove and install bushing without damage. It's made of Delrin .
Ingenuity is the master of mechanics and if it gets the job done its good 👍👍
Teşekkür ederim. Burç sıkıştırma aparatı kaç inç?
Another cracking post Pamo👍 Question would you use the same bush in the lower arm
Yes 👍
Put in freezer for 1 day, use socket and hammer it in ⚒️
Great video , where did you get that c clamp cant find anything similar
Thanks. It's just a cheap "ball joint press" - ebay.
Hi Pamo your videos at amazing so informative! I’m looking for some advice I have an e36 Evo some numpty at some point in time has jacked it up on the sills not the jacking points hence the underside looks like a banana. Any ideas on how to repair I believe the sills are box section? Regards Neil
The only way is to cut it open, inspect it and decide how far you need to go. Not a nice situation.
@@ManSeeksCivic hmm thought as much so a right pain in the ass. Thanks for you reply M8 greatly appreciated. Neil
i find putting some wd40 or silicon grease or something makes them go in much easier , they press fit so push 99% of lube out and dont slip
You could take the shell from the old bushing to use as a press for the new one, no? Or is it too much of a PITA to pull apart to do that?
Good question, because it's a spherical bearing, it's not easy to separate... I tried, with a large hammer but wasnt successful 😁
ah yes the tool that requires 8 octopus arms
Curious, you said the rear alignment would go out, what all exactly IS adjustable on a bone stock E36..? Can you even adjust anything..?
Jesus that ending though at like 15 minutes, but that's a natural E36 owners reaction to any E36 work honestly.
You can adjust the main arm a bit where it bolts to the body. That's about it
You can adjust toe with the trailing arms mounts (the 3 bolts, the bracket will slide a bit) and you can set camber on the lower control arm outer bolts as they are those eccentric washer bolts. That’s about it.
@@jasonlouis5498 That's enough to cause significant tire wear if it's wrong.
@@dickjohnson7845 yeah, I’d get an alignment.
Are the top and bottom ones the same?
Yes 👍
