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!
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
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
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!
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
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.

Sometimes you've just got to get the job done.
Awesome video , saved $500 doing it myself using this video . 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

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.
Here I am on a Saturday afternoon thinking the same thing haha. Good work Cheers 🍻
Thx mate every video you upload here is very helpful
Thanks
Just got myself the same bush puller. Thanks Pamo!
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
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 👍
Been following your E36 videos and they have been tremendously helpful. Thanks dude!
Thank you.
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
bloody nice one Pamo
Great video,,,,entertaining and informative....thanks mate
Lovely. Looks like a ballache lol
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 👍👍
Another cracking post Pamo👍 Question would you use the same bush in the lower arm
Yes 👍
Teşekkür ederim. Burç sıkıştırma aparatı kaç inç?
Great video , where did you get that c clamp cant find anything similar
Thanks. It's just a cheap "ball joint press" - ebay.
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 😁

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
good tip to take the boot off first, ive ripped one from leaving it on, SUPERGLUE!! lololol
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
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 👍
Put in freezer for 1 day, use socket and hammer it in ⚒️
ah yes the tool that requires 8 octopus arms
