BMW E36 Lower Control Arm Replacement

An easy DIY job with basic tools, I've bought some E30 lower wishbones to replace my worn out E36 ones. The video will show you the process of removing the old 36 arm with its "floating" ball joint and replacement with a solid ball joint E30 arm.

Although we cut out the hammer action for being noisy, it took no more than a minute in order to loosen the parts free.

You will see how to transfer the lollipop bushes from the old arm onto the new one and the differences between the arms.

Thanks for watching!
