I got a tetanus shot after watching this video lol
😂😂😂 Pinning this comment!
😂😂😂😂
Holy east coast car
Somebody said you had to drop the diff to get in there but after watching this I noticed two things
1. You don’t have to drop the diff
2. Your car is frikkkkkkkkkkkkkkin rusty!
Its just patina... 😅
He probably took the diff bolt out one of the bolts for the camber arms won’t come out fully with the diff in place- hence probably why he never showed the other side being done
Thank you for this great video. Other vids I found were just wait too long or didnt show every step. Yours was detailed enough to help me, but not too long to be boring.
Glad you liked it!
Nice DIY. I do closed circuit racing where we look to have between 2 and 3 degrees of negative camber on our BMW. You were shortening those trailing arms at first, negative camber would be achieved by lengthening them correct?
You are correct, lengthening would push the bottom of the wheel out, which would be negative camber.
Oh I feel your pain on the part with the kids lol 😆 u got my sub , #dadlife lol I got 3 Lil turds myself
#dadlife forever, or at least until there 18 lol!
best video I've found for a diyer and ordered some control arms off the back of this. just wondering as i have just got 4 new tyres and wheel alignment, do i need to go back for another wheel alignment after adjusting camber?
I would recommend a wheel alignment after adding control arms.
thanks man I’m about to tackle this project tomorrow
Glad I could help
Everyone commenting about the rust hasn’t seen a UK car… they all look like this 😂
I Didn’t know you’re able to just spin the arm while bolted in instead of unbolting it to spin and adjust it!
That will save you some time
do you have videos of you drifting this yet?
just bought a 325i for $500
There is some footage of it drifting at the end of this video th-cam.com/video/5Rot3XanY3I/w-d-xo.html
Quick question on the 2001 330i it's a little difficult to get to the inside nut on the camber arms what are you using to loosen and tighten that?
It would have either been a 1/2 inch drive socket or the box end of a wrench.
Wait, you didn’t need to mess with the diff to get the bolts out?
It's a bit tight and fiddly, but no diff messing required!
That’s what I’m saying I been seening videos everyone taking off bllots from the diff or something
@@OctaneMonkey yes! that is all i have been looking for is confirmation that you really don't have to mess with the diff or exhaust. it seems every video skips over the rear driver's side on youtube. lol ...i'll just take my time and remove it slow and steady. well...atleast hopefully lol
You have to jack up the diff a little bit to get the bolt out yes.
Did you dunk the car in acid in order for it to rust that much? Seems like even the plastic parts and the rubber tires have rusted.
Lol, it was dipped in salt everyday for years
What did you use for the front?
I installed angle brakets and adjustable camber plates from ebay at first, and recently switched to a full FDF Fab Race angle kit. I havent edited the video yet.
How'd u do the left side??
It's the same as the right side. Undo the bottom nut, tap out the bolt on the wheel end. Then undo the top nut on the differential side. Tap out that bolt. Remove the old bar, install the new one.
@@OctaneMonkey dam ok sweet
😮 brother that whole rear end needs some rust protection
What are you using to loosen and tighten the inside jam nut ?...it is a super bitch to get to.
There are 2 ways. 1) Use a thin small wrench. 2) Leave it loose, set the lenght, remove it, and tighten everything up off the car and then re-install it.
What size are the adjustment nuts?
I am pretty sure they are 17mm, but they could be 18 or 19.
Nice video but instead of camber you should've clean the damn rust , it loos bad man. Fix the car and after do the mods . Cheers
You are going to like the video I am working on now. Sandblasting the rear end and removing all the rust. Looks so good.
great video, but how come so much rust?
It's an Ontario car. It was driven in winter salt for many years.
@@OctaneMonkey I see... can't be helped, I guess.
@@nickamarit Daily's don't last very long if you drive them all year. Car enthusiast's around here usually have a 'winter beater'.
@Cameron Bell Yeah oil helps a lot, but I would still rather live in southern cali or texas where cars seem to last forever.
@Cameron Bell Where are you located?
You didn’t show the drivers side 😂
Wait what happened to the driver side that's the whole point I was watching.... Almost out of video I hope it's in here
What year is your e46?
2001
@@OctaneMonkey ya I have a 99 e46 drift missile lol just wonderingif I have to drop the diff to install that control arms think our cars are old enough on you don’t have to I’m assuming nice vid and car good shit bro
@@ratboy240sx Thanks man! Luckly you don't have to drop the diff to install the control arms!
@@ratboy240sx can confirm you HAVE to drop the subframe or remove diff with 325/330ci 2002. I think this guy has a small case, maybe a US spec thing.
dude this thing is rust in persom XD
Yeah the rust is real! I am actually in the middle of sand blasting the whole rear end and restoring it.
@@OctaneMonkey bro don’t even waste your money on it , that car is DONE. There’s no coming back
Bro I would not even mess with this car xD sucks how your state throws salt on the roads , maybe find another hobby like hunting or move to another state lol
I fantasize about moving south all the time ;). This car has been relegated to track use only at this point, so it won't see any more winters and their evil salt.
Your car looks rubish..how can you instal that brand new piece on that rusty mug??
My advice is..change all the bothom car...looks like you been showed with that car...that's horible.
A better option would be to start with a non-rust car. But I actually took everything off the bottom of the car, sandblasted, everything, replaced, the old parts, and painted it nice. You should check out some of the newer vids.
