I did this job today. You need a hacksaw machine to cut the inside bolt off. Buy a new bolt ect at the bmw dealer only 10$. Then you can get it off and replace it. Most likely with the age off these cars there will be salt and rust. This is the way I did it. Learn easily from me and save the pain for later
I ordered a control arm after watching this video thinking its easy to do. Turns out a control arm/wish bone is something else. This is a Guiding suspension link. Now I need a video showing how to do the rear control arm.
@@autodocuk I have the same car in the video. I ordered rear control arms from the parts department and I got something else. So after checking the parts catalogue I found out the part being replaced in this video is called a guiding suspension link. The part they call control arm is the part referred to as the wishbone by BMW. Its bigger than this and it goes on the bottom it has brake line attached on top of it. It looks way harder to replace.
The replacement of the lever is due to the poor condition of the silent block and the ball joint on the lever. The consequences are knocks and noises from the rear suspension.
hi , Thank you for your first class videos. they are really excellent. i have an E53 that constantly makes a squicky noise from the RH rear wheel area. Is it caused by this suspension arm? will replacing it fix the squicky noise in your experience?

You left out a HUGE part of this job and didn't even mention that this is an adjustable component for camber! The inner bolt is concentric and you put white marks for location before removal that can be seen on the assembly part. If people don't know this, the alignment will be way off!! Huge fail. Do it right or don't bother posting please.
Dear Customer, thank you for your request! We highly recommend you use a professional car workshop to have a close look into this issue and locate the fault. We look forward to hearing from you! Best Regards, Autodoc Team.
