Marco check this out, I'd highly recommend them. The diff bushing lets you know there's gears spinning, but nothing your subs won't cover.

I already have new front CA bushings, so unless hed separate then it wouldn't be worth it. Plus, I need to get a spare subframe and trailing srms and diff etc first.

That pissed me off too when I had a garage. Friends would come over and change their oil and leave the old shit...what am i, fuxkin janitor?

Dirty r3vtards. Kick them out consume their beer.

Literally I have all of that. And it really wouldn't be expensive, I'm even open to trades if you have anything cool.

DK, I pulled a fan from a volvo 740, looks identical to my stock aux fan. Is this the right one? If not I'll need to run back to the yard because 50% off ends today. New fan is on the left, stock aux is on the condenser

Is there anything wrong with using a fan like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-UNIVERSAL...-/261265573258

Subframe Mount Bushing Replacement

Anyone in the Sacramento Area who has the tool or a solid way to remove/replace the subframe mount bushings? Mine are shot (318i(s)
Ordering PowerFlex street bushings should be here in a couple weeks.
If anyone has the tool or is willing to help or even do the complete job, please PM me. will pay cash/beer/etc. the higher speed vibration and shitty shifting noise is really pissing me off haha...thanks!

that looks way too small. mine was from an 850 series i think.

sorry didn't see this earlier, was busy as hell at work today. $1100+ in my first week as a courier. notbad.jpg

12" seems like it might be kinda small too. measure the space you've got from top to bottom of radiator and get the biggest one you can. my volvo fan *barely* wedged in there; i want to say something like 15-18" diameter at least.

you could maybe see if you could mount both the fans you have and wire them in parallel (again, expect to need a bigger fuse). put one near the inlet and one near the outlet, kinda diagonally staggered.

Yeah I fucked up. It was from a rwd Volvo with a mechanical main fan. When I went back to pnp they were closed and I'm pissed because their sale is over, oh well. There's a 16" 2800cfm fan for 40 bux on eBay, but I'd almost trust 20 year old German parts over new eBay stuff.

hi. if you can find anyone. just burn yours out. then the poly ones will slide in.

drop the exhaust
remove the heatshield.
remove the 4 nuts on the dif to driveshaft
drop the center support bearing
go inside the car and remove the 2x 10mm nuts that hold the hand brake.
remove the speed sensor and wear sensors from the trailing arms
place a jack under the steel part of the diff.
then remove the dif support bolt
then remove the 2 subfram nuts.
at this point slowly lower the jack, if the subframe doesnt pop loose use a prybar to force it down. if you let the diff drop too fast and the subframe is not dropping it will cause it to get stuck. so make sure to drop it evenly.
then sawzall out the dif bushing. and burn out the subframe bushings.

the whole job takes about 6 hours.

[Thizzelle]

lmfao i wish i got to see that.

did they swim to the land?

2 boats came over and they just flipped him up and he was sailing again
