BMW E90 Front Suspension Refresh DIY 

Can we talk about the biggest transformation of the 50sKID! Well done brother!

You are in Cali so it looks so easy and clean. I’m in Minnesota, snow in feet not inches , salt crud it’s hell to take out anything on a car. Your car is show room bro.

To make sure you're getting the right height on the suspension when torquing, before removing tire, measure from the top fender to the center of the tire rim. Then lift suspension to match that measurement and torque.

5:43 They are indeed fluid-filled hydraulic bushings.

Such good videos and camera work in tight spaces to show what you are doing, nice work dude

Oh wow, You have lost a lot of weight. You look good bro. I have not seen any of your videos in probably 7 or 8 years. They were instrumental in learning and repairing all I could when I had my e46

many automakers deliberately reduce the life of parts, saving on lubrication. I recommend lifting the rubber duster and reporting a waterproof lubricant there. this will extend the life of the parts.

If you're a beginner it might be actually helpful to get a torque wrench, after using a torque wrench for a while you'll get a good idea of how much you can torque each bolt. Smaller bolts snap very easily if you have no idea how much torque they can take. Don't need an expensive torque wrench, just one that gets you close enough.

I did this for all front arms, tie rods and rear arms with bushing/links. All Lemforder parts from OEM Bimmer.. A great way to save on a repair and spend a weekend. Get an allignment after for sure 👍

i like your videos. i still go back and watch the older ones because i have a E46 2001 330xi. thanks man.

Bro, that looks so exhausting. Especially without a lift. Great work

You can replace these with M3 parts to give a bit more front camber.

I was also watching the FCP DIY video. Gareth says that the bushing IS filled with hydraulic oil. So that small amount of oil that showed on your original part was probably the oil from inside of it.

Thanks for the great work! Been watching since the e46 days and now I have an e90 haha

Great illustration of that repair.

Man, the first nut is a pain to remove without the electric ratchet. I destroyed the torx T40 bit trying to counterhold the bushing screw but to no avail.

Thanks for your great effort & work Videos .It really help me alot with my bimmer car.

Why not mark the socket in stead of the bolt?

Needed this

NO TORQUE WRENCH?!?!? Blasphemy! lol I need to do this on my E70.. When they go bad on the E70 the wheel vibrates back/forth so it feels like warped brakes, but it's not warped brakes.

Huge fan and fellow BMW owner. I know your busy, but you i trust more than anyone else. Honestly… i own 2008 X3 3.0si. I love it but transmission shifts rough sometimes. Oddly enough shifts smooth, really smooth in the rain!? Every time I start driving when cold, it shifts when it should just hard. Usually when its warm it get a lot better… most of the time. I’ve serviced it 3times with fresh fluid. And replaced all valve body seals. Last fluid replaced filter for the second time in 15,000 miles and used liquid moly fluid. Car has 160k and runs so good. Any advice on what or where to go from here? Again thanks for your videos you taught me so much and gave me confidence to do many of my own repairs

Ah man! I sold my E90! Going to get another a few years from now probably.

You make it look easy peasy. Thank you. One question - do I need to do a front end alignment after this repair?

So I had my daughters 2001bmw 330i work on everything went good until the guy told me I need a small hose but didn't say anything else about it can't get in contact,I have kno clue where this hose goes, it's a small hose that u clamp on each side when ita connected idk lol

How many miles was on your e90 at this point of front control arm replacement?

E90 baby woo

Hi can u help with this code on my e46 330i ? DME: Fuel Trim Bank 1, Permissible Range exceeded

Please make more videos

Thinking about replacing my valve cover gasket on my n54.. will I be okay on just changing the gasket or should I change the valve cover as well?

I would’ve went m3 for that long term durability!

i love you fucking videos! thank you jason

It appears that your vehicle is rear wheel drive I have an XI

Should we get an alignment performed after this?

“…you really don’t need a torque wrench” oooh wow you’re taking a risk on RU-vid saying that in a car repair video ! (personally I’d say any fixing in the suspension/steering or brakes should be torqued to spec every time)
