FCAB Rubber Bushing Install

[twright]

I have always tried to install the Front Control Arm Bushings (lollipops) while the Front Control Arms are still on the car. I know you can pop the ball joints loose, which makes the bushings easier...

There is a procedure that allows you to clear them without a tool. I have successfully used that procedure, but it would be much easier if I could just push the " Clear Code" button.

Will the Schwaben one clear an E30 airbag light?...

I don't know if you can see the signal change when you spin it by hand.

I do know you can see the signal change with a voltmeter if you drive it. I doesn't change much, but its enough to...

We need pictures!

Don't you need some sort of receiver on the other side of the subframe for this tool to work?...

[twright]

If you're pulling the whole thing together, do you have to remove the driveshaft first?...

[twright]

Can you drop the whole subframe while on jackstands? Or does it take a lift and and a transmission jack?

Fuel pump relay?

I'm not sure about the exact slant angle, but it does look like the typical E30 engine "lean".

What cars did the GS6-37BZ come in? Would it just be cheaper to do an engine swa...

I thought the E36 didn't fit. Don't they have a different rear mounting?

I'm in the midst of an experiment and would like to know what others have found:

I recently swapped the 4.27 differential ratio in my Touring for a 2.93. ( I never liked the 4000 rpm highway...

Maybe a better way of doing this is a combination of methods: Loosen the bushings from the frame by threading a lag bolt into the bushing from below and then beating on it from above. Once the subframe...

That was a good video. Unfortunately, his method isn't very easy. I'll bet it took him forever to do that.

Is it the brake lights or the tail lights?

If its the brake lights, check the brake pedal switch and see if it correctly positioned.

We're going to need more info than that. Can you provide more pictures and more detail of the two cars you are interested In?
