Subject: Control Arm Bushing Installation-E30/E36
Installation of the control arm end bushing/bracket assembly onto the
control arm is quite easy and does not require the expensive factory tools.
Soap up the bushing with dish detergent (or car wash liquid), lock the
control arm into your vice, and quickly push the assembly onto the arm.
Twist the assembly back and forth as you push. The part will easily seat
into place and begin to set almost immediately although you'll still be able
to rotate the bracket slightly to get the holes to line up when installing
the control arm back onto the car. You should be able to buy a new control
arm bushing/bracket assembly from your favorite parts house for around
$65.00 each to press onto your new control arms. (With the right puller
setup and a press, you can reuse your existing brackets and save $40-45 per
side). SD
