I love rear end bushings....

Some pics from today of my E30. Here's what i did all day today. took appx 10 hours.. i did 90% of it myself,

Change subframe bushings to urethane bushings,
change all trailing arm bushings to urethane
swap 2.93 diff to 3.73 LSD diff

I also took a shot of my M30 engine that i'm putting in in a couple days...


That's about it.. ALOT easier said than done!
any questions about how i did it, let me know

Wish I had access to a lift.

Did you make that tool?

your car is rusty, that makes it harder. I'm glad mine doesn't look like that underneath!

[Garageaholic]

Hahaha, i know it's rusty, that doesn't bother me too much though

I modified the puller for the trailing arms by putting it in a vice and closing the arms just enough to fit over the end of the welds on the trailing arms. Then used a bolt through the sleeve. and pushed the bolt through with the screw puller you see...once i figured that out, it was soooo simple to take the rest of it out..

As far as the subframe bushings..... still a bitch and a half to take out.. Hopefully i'll never have to do it again..

Who makes those subframe bushings? I know IE's are green and red so who makes those?

Sand the rusty parts and spray it with Zero-rust or rustoleum. Makes it look 100% better and gives you some protection. Especially parts like the fuel tank, if they are rusting.

Mad props to you for doing the rear bushings. I don't think I would try it even if I had a lift. way too much work and elbow grease.

Thats nothing for a NE area car, you guys dont even know what rust is.

FifeDog236.. you haven't seen my 325is.

Anyone got a hookup to a bodyshop that won't charge a gazillion dollars to save my E30

[e30 gangsta]

Do the bushings its way worth it.

[AdironRider]

Bummer these sound like a bitch, its all I need to do for a completely rebuilt suspension.
