  • Now that my E36 328is is setup exactly how I want, I need to take care of some neglected front suspension components. My loose tie rods, ripped tie rod boots, and worn out FCABS were making for some pretty poor front end handling and endangering my steering rack to debris. So in this video we tackle all these jobs with no special tools and then go for a ride to feel the difference!

    Put them in the freezer before doing the project. Worked for me thought it was going to be a pain but the freezer trick worked tremendously.

    If the inner is leaking super loose you should change the inner tie rod also right? Or is that just how it’s supposed to be

    Use a flathead to remove the clamp, you bend the tab and pry the end of and you can almost reuse it if you're careful

    Greetings my friend. Hope all is well and you’re happy. Off topic question. In a previous video you mentioned you’re having some PDR done. I have a few minor dings and want them gone. How expensive is PDR? In your opinion is it worth the cost/benefits ratio? Cheers, G

      Actually been researching a good pdr place locally. Pdr to my understanding is quite cheap with perfect results in nearly every case if done by a good company. Ill have a video detailing it within the next couple months for sure.

    Bro your inner tie rods are toasted. Fwiw "if your inners droop on their own they need to be replaced." Yours don't droop ,they are striat floppin'. It would have been so easy to do inners and outers. (Still great content tho. Good enough for me to spend time trying to help)

      Febi makes a epic m3 lolly pop for the e36 (on center hole) ive got 50,000 miles so far. Zero play on a slammed car. I just searched for them, can't find them. They were german. Called "halter ,links querlenker" they are a " solid bushing" not the stock ones. (Can't find them or I would link them)

    In one of your videos, you said your E36 M3 was noisy and implied they are all like that. Mine is a 1999 and is more quiet than my new one no matter what bumps and pot holes I hit, quiet and solid as a rock. Don't accuse all M3's with the problems 'yours' has, you mislead people that way and detract possible buyers thus hurting everyone.

  • @drewdavis239

    "Noise , vibration, harshness " you texted noise, vibration, hardness" on the screen... but I knew you knew, cuz you said harshnes, not hardness.
