  • Welcome to Pt.12 of the #Saveabmw series. Wobbly wheels return. Today we replace the front lower control arms on my 525d #E61 #BMW with only 93,000 miles on the clock.
    Control arm used - shorturl.at/qDSV7
    Can we save it? Restore it? Flip for profit? Lets find out!
    First time to my channel? I'll be posting BMW, Mini video's every week.
    Currently working on my E61 520d and 525d, Mini Cooper S and a few more potential projects over the coming weeks/months.
    Stay tuned!

    Die it today on my E60. I changed both arms and the angle grimder was needed 😂. Only finished right side today. Other side willl follow, but then I will use the angle grimder directly. In my case the torx bolt went RIP. My Gedore tool was stronger😊.

    Was it clunking when you braked and wobbling at speeds? Because that’s what mine is doing.

      Grady, definitely could be a cause. Before to refresh the arms on these cars as they are heavy cars. Steering wheel wobble, shimmying when braking etc. thanks for watching. 👍

      The reaction bushes is probbaly worn and new ones need to be pushed in. Much cheaper then replacing the while suspension part.
