3 years later and still helping new e36 owners thank you❤
2years later and still helpful ❤
bushings and ball joints are different especially in that a bushing has virtually a 1 way movement and a ball joint has polymovement, axial movement, it helps to use correct terminology when ordering parts, good job finding it .. I think ther are 3 points on the rear suspension that need to be checked, upper control arm, lower control arm and trailing arm..
You can get urethane trailing arm bushings.. They are way harder material.. more for aggressive street/track use. But if you tend to have a little fun while driving they are a very nice upgrade. You can also get delrin or aluminium ones which are basically just for race applications..
In the process of replacing ones in my track car. Can you tell me where you found or how you fabricated the receiving cup (in you hand at 2:48) for the bushing? Your video's are my reference for all the work on my car for the past 5 years...engine, suspension...you name it...many thanks!
Good morning Quinn buddy sorry for missing your video’s I’m bin grinning on are new shop it’s arriving tomorrow we had to get a D9 Dozer to dig down the foundation we moved a lot of dirt the the past week 👍😊
awesome Mr james cool to hear! how soon do you think the shop will be up and dialed in?
@@M3NACE we are trying shoot before Xmas 🤞🙏🏽👍😃
@@jamesfcookjr good luck with it man! keep me updated!
@@M3NACE will do buddy when we get settled in well invite you over check it out yesterday was a pain we had to offload the building three blocks away the semi truck could not get that close to the site but we got it done 👍😊
Damn I got a rear clunk as well, you guys and the channel always providing 🙏🤜🤛 and is that true rear coils on the cheeto?
nope! stock setup, just BC coils.
@@M3NACE i need to fix my eyes lol
Hey Quinn, really helpfull video. I have a question, there are two of these rubber ball joints on each side? I mean, i saw in other videos that in non M cars the Upper one is a "solid rubbererized" one and in those videos i think they mentioned that you can replace them for the one that you show here as an upgrade. Is that correct? (Edit: Pretty sure i may be mistaken with the lower INNER control arm bushing)
Edit: I saw the second part of this job in your other video. Got my answer there, lol.
But now im wondering if thes things have an orientation or it doesnt matter the way you put them. (In the mentioned videos they say that these ball joints have two lips, one flush and one more rounded. The one that's flush should be pointing towards the front of the car. Can you tell me if i should pay attention to this?
These videos helped me out a lot man, very sick thanks a lot
Just finished popping out both bushing for the control arm
Teşekkür ederim. Yardımcı oldunuz ❤
😋 the concentration tho!🤣🤣🤣
lmao tounge's out
Man what’s your preference between e36 vert, coupe or sedan? I own a coupe but that sedan is really growing on me!! It looks so convenient
Sedan all day man! I did a video on it a few years ago if youd like to watch: ua-cam.com/video/YglP1E-dtmg/v-deo.html
@@M3NACE definitely will check that out!!
Same cars basically, only main difference aside from having four doors and useful back seats is you get a little more structural rigidity from the added B pillar
@@Chattsteezy I love the look of the coupe but honestly the vert caught my eyes minus the back seats but no one really sits there anyways, the only thing is I heard the sedan has more headroom, but other than that, I wouldn't mind a vert but I'm happy with my coupe
how about you what's your experience?
@@LouisLuzuka Only ever owned an e36 coupe but had an e46 sedan. Tbh I thought my back seat would get used way more then it did but in the almost 5 years I had that car I think it got used like maybe 10 times lol. My e36 coupe is my pride and joy though. Ain’t the cleanest by any means but she’s a missile and slides like none other. Best $2000 I ever spent. Would like to get a black sedan one day just to have the best of both worlds.
Thanks for making this video
Not a drift guy but just love the DIY part very useful on working with my 93 e36
well now i know for sure its my rtabs that need to be replaced haha
lol join the club!
I heard m3 ball joints are better any truth to that?
yeah from what ive read somewhere some of the non-m cars came with weird bushings instead of ball joints there, you can outright install M3 ball joints in their spot. def. and upgrade from that.
Thanks for clearing that up!
@@turbolifestyle6548 of course!
@@M3NACE my Z4 is getting that upgrade as soon as Turner ships them.
I got a thump sound at the back everytime I disangage the clutch and put my car in any gear while driving and stationary. I’m aware of the subframe issues but when im stationary the load on the subframe right??? Does anyone know?
did you find out what was wrong, i have same issue..
@@MrDamburger yoo wassup still have the problem. I still have the problem haha. But I have a new diff that is getting installed soon because there was play, backlash and my bearings were worn in the diff. When I install this I will also check the universal joints on the propshaft for play.
I will keep you updated👍🏻
@@MrDamburger did you have anything checked already?
@@DIRTYvinnieXD apparently the rear right upper diff arm is minor worn, that's what my mechanic wrote as a comment on my warrant of fitness, hopefully it's just that and not a diff issye
@@MrDamburger hmm weird what is a diff arm? 😅
