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 |
