@@Marty09933 hi Marty, hope u fine! Work done... all wishbone's replaced... the 5 is 5* now... problem solved... thank u so much with the video... greetings from Portugal...
Thanks for the video. Getting a similar squeak when I put pressure on my X5, but not so much when I turn the steering wheel. Narrowing it down to either the lower control arm or strut mount. Just changed the thrust arm, sway bar link and tie rod. When these parts age at the same rate, sounds are coming from everywhere. The bushing looked good, but the squeaks come from mostly the ball joint. I'll probably inject some lube into the ball joint to see if the squeak goes away, then I'll know for sure it that's that the part. Heard never to use cinder blocks or bricks to support a car. Safer to use wood instead. To keep the same riding height when final torque, I measured the distance between the center wheel logo to the bottom of the fender before removing the wheel. Instead of lowering the car onto bricks, I jacked up the center rotor-to fender at the same height as if the car was leveled, then final torque.
Hello man, I’ve commented before on other videos, maintenance stuff, I yesterday was in a accident, my car was hit by a cow laying on the floor, it was impacted on the right side front end, around the same area you were working on, bumper broke, auxiliary radiator fell of, some stuff are missing and it’s hard to identify, the wheel is pushed back a little and yeah I have a big project on my hands. Where can I find a good reference to see what things I’m missing ?
Hi @J.l198 sorry to hear that brother that’s not good at all. Sorry that happened to you. I don’t know of anything right now other than just look up videos of people working on their front end like mine and other videos out there and see what you can catch off of those that’s what I would do until I found a reference better, and thank you for watching and like always I really appreciate you
@@Marty09933 thanks for the reply, I appreciate you making the videos, all maintenance things that every 535i owner will have to do. I will try my best to get mine back on the road, I plan on painting it myself to.
@@J.l198 awesome keep me posted I’d like to see it what color ? And you’ll get it back on the road brother just stay positive and put that thing back together. You can do it bro. And again thank you thank you
We should start a 535I squeak club b/c I have the same exact thing. Seems like a lot of us do. Mine is only happening over big bumps/aprons at low speeds. I wonder if I should even bother or wait until it gets worse.
I have very similar noises coming from the same side. But they come and go throughout the day. Did replacing the lower control arm fix it for good? I see a lot of people writing it could also be the thrust arm.
Hi Matt Schiavone yes it did . And yes it could be several things I also had problems with my sway bar bushings I have a video of it on my channel . Thanks for your comment. And thanks for watching I appreciate you
Hello John mine had 130k . Anymore it doesn’t surprise me when a part goes out early I’ve had to change fuel pumps and struts on newer models. My first bmw water pump went out at 110k my second bmw went out at 79k ????? Thanks for watching I appreciate you
Hi my bmw makes a ticking noise at low speed it's coming from the front richt I change the wheel bearing(thans to your video) but the noise is still there
Mehmed Mehmedov wow tough one make sure it’s the right side bearing I’ve had cars that sounded in the right side and it ended up being the opposite side ? Would have to hear it myself?? Thank you I appreciate you. Keep me posted
Kyle Acero hello yes go to amazon and type your vehicle info and lower control arm and you should get a few choices where to buy. Or try CarParts.com Thanks for watching
Someone sponsor this guy so he can buy metric sockets, E sockets (Torx) and a torque wrench. He's great at telling you what to do but the Germans build it with 16, 18 and 21 mm nuts and bolts with the odd Torx and ZXN spline chucked in for good measure he needs better fitting tools.
As a DIYer, when I buy chinese made tools (socket/wrenches), I make sure they include those german sizes. 18&21 arent always included in a set. Dohhhhh..
Josue Barrios I got mine at CAR PARTS.COM ......www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiN5aXeq5HtAhXykVsKHct3CvsYABADGgJ5bQ&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESQOD2AETRlVRvoiKUT58Ijgen5ShBOB5kZdoOqA5JHModsNZGBHZUGBeDSl6Uc2tPBZVZ5iNn55ao57OAJDiYhF0&sig=AOD64_3_sXzk0ySribFTgZ4A35M1IK5xVw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjDgJjeq5HtAhUGLa0KHcTiDHEQwg96BAgJEA8&adurl=
