Your vid was extremely helpful, I found a way to remove the old bushings. I put a 30mm deep socket between the bussing and the car, then put the floor jack under the subframe lifting the car off the stand. Then heated the housing. Old bushing came loose and fell on the floor. Thanks again for your vid.
Yeah I will actually be taking out the subframe this winter for that same reason. But not everyone does that, hence I figured it could be helpful to some to show it done this way
Garage once failed my E30's MoT due to bad subframe bushings. So I went down, we went under the car and I showed them not just that the bushings were OK but the four digit production date said they were 10 months old and I'd done them. Trying to rip me off! Never went back.
I don’t think these need to be lubed up, there is very little, if any, movement in those bushings. At least they didn’t come with any lube unlike their trailing arm bushings which do come with lube.
no PTFE grease put on the bushings? isn't it going to squeak like crazy? man this is a total 180 compared to my experience. The top of the huge bolts had this caulk type stuff on the top of them, all of that had to be dug out before I could even knock the bolts up/out. After that I had to drop everything out, and the metal sleeves in the bushings both snapped as they welded/corroded themselves to the body. I had to drill and grind all the remnants out, and only then could I bring everything back up. What a mess.
Sounds like a crazy experience. I’ve seen these go wrong in all sorts of ways as well, luckily I didn’t have too many issues. But yes no grease needed on these there is next to no movement in these bushings
@@SaltCityEuros I see some of the threaded rod protruding from the backside. I would see if you could attach a nut on the backside, then weld the nut and broken bolt so you could pull it out from the backside.
I don’t like the look of the wheels with them, they are kinda cheesy looking. But then again, I guess it doesn’t look super sleek without them either.... dilemma 🤔

Interesting way of replacing them. I removed my entire rear and cleaned up the subframe and welded in adjustable camber/toe tabs.

Great video. Nice to see it can be done with out dropping the subframe
Good to see another vid! Looking forward to more e28 content

No grease on those poly bushings! About to be Squeak City Euros!
The rear subframe bushings don’t move enough to squeak, I know from experience

@@SaltCityEuros I agree
Ein Feedback, wenn du wieder auf der Straße bist, würde mich interessieren. Beste Grüße aus Rosenheim, mach weiter so! 👍🏻

Sperber classic hat für den e30 Schrauben Sätze fürs Fahrwerk und für ein paar Motoren zb m20.
Why are there old French plates in the background ?
weld on a nut on backside of bolt to be able to continue the broken bolt thru.
What do you mean by that? Can you explain more? Thanks!

Good idea, I will need to try that in the future. First I need to learn to weld
@@SaltCityEuros if you have a friend with a mig welder.
Why no centre caps man?

@@SaltCityEuros How about blacking them out then putting them back on?
Great video as usual!
You need to fix your rusty jacking point tho, jack point collapse is NOT funny
I have some welding ahead of me that’s for sure
Ich musste auf die 4 Schrauben nochmal Schrauben aufschweißen, dann gingen sie einfach raus 😉
