Replacing E30 control arms and bushings
This is a job I need to do and I've read the Bentley manual as well as
looked up some things on line. Still I have a few questions for those
who have been through this before.
If I re-use the bushing brackets (lollipops) is a conventional
hydraulic shop press all that is needed to install the new bushings in
the brackets? I have such a press.
Now I've heard that getting the control arm nubs into the bushings is
a real pain but have not been able to find any information on how
people have done this. I know to use liquid soap or something else
that won't harm the rubber as a lubricant.
I know it is possible to buy bushings already mounted in brackets.
Can anyone suggest a good source for these in the U.S.?
Thanks,
Christopher
