Francesco, thank you for another great video.
The only thing that I would suggest is that you use jack stands to support the car whenever you work underneath it. Don’t rely on only the hydraulic floor jack because it can suddenly fail. Please be safe!
I've been looking all night for a good video on replacing the F10 control arm. One of the best repair videos I've seen! Subscribed pronto!
Wow, this is one of the best repair videos ever. Excellent quality!
Thanks Man! :-)
Excellent in every way. Clear, no steps missed/jump cuts and a massive help.
Thanks
Thanks Man! :)
Got an F11 and looking to tackle this job so many thank for posting this excellent tutorial video. Much appreciated 🙏
Thanks for your help. After I saw your video I replaced the tension arms by my x Drive myself.That’s was a 3 hour job and its was fun to see how easy it is.
Thanks mate. This helped me a lot. I didnt know that the new kind of drive shaft comes off so easily
👍👍 Awesome video, great production quality! (Clear, detailed, and simple.)
Thanks Man! :)
Man ..... thanks alot.
Your 💦 and grinding has helped me to understand what needs to be done.
Really good explanation and walkthrough.
Deserves a reward ☺️
Thanks Man! :-)
Thank you so much! Just did this and it solved my tracking and vibration issues
Great video! Appreciate the part numbers. Thanks again! 👍
Great quality, great instruction. Thanks!
the music is creeping me out :(
To work under the car with no jack stands is worse I think..
This has to be one of the best tutorials I’ve seen for this repair. Great work man!
Thanks Man! :)
Fantastic, i've been looking for information regarding exactly this issue. Thank you!!!
Thank You For Watching! :-)
The best videos i have seen on this procedure, professionalky very well done!
Agree need to use jack stands, safety first. I didnt see one.
i'm sick of my 2010 E61 really, every month something gets broken appart , i'll buy a Honda next.
superb tutorial as always, thanks.
That's a really great video
Wonderfull work Francesco, thank you...
Thanks Man! :-)
Bravo Francesco!
Hi! Great videos! Love how you pay attention to details on showing component part numbers, tools needed, etc. I've got only one question - why are you using a torque wrench to loosen bolts? As far as I know torque wrenches must only be used to tighten bolts.
Thank you for a fantastic video. The best and most informative video I have ever watched. My car is unstabel and the car body is wingling at speed around 70-80 km. I think I have problem with my front axel. My car BMW F11 525D Xdrive 2012 model.
Awesome installation.
Thanks Man! :-)
Tried it yesterday and it really helped to fix the vibrations from the front axle. Thanks!
Thanks for Watching Man! :-)
Did you have vibration while driving like 100-120kmh or just while braking, valentin?
@@felixblond007 it only appeared while moderate braking. The harder you stepped on the brake pedal, the lower the vibrations were. At the moment I am afraid that I imagine the vibrations are back.. in this case I guess the brake discs have a hit.
@@valentinkonig9464 i also got a little vibration in my steering wheel when im braking so im doing my brakes this week an i hope its just the disc and nothing mire expensive 👍🏻
@@felixblond007 More likely your rotors bro. I had that issue myself and replaced all my rotors.
I have vibrations too. I will do the same. Thanks for the video.
Thank You For Watching! :-)
I did use Powerflex bushes. No need to replace those in future. More easy install also. No need to put weight to suspension in install process. There was no vibration but klonk sound when brake pedal was pressed sharply. Good video. 🙂
Are you still happy with those Powerflex bushes?
@@darenfriday I have used Powerflex bushes 18 years in my cars. Those could be little bit softer, but those lasts wery long time. After all, I'm happy with Powerflex bushes.
Excellent video. Weird enough my F10 550i xdrive makes the weirdest noise in the front right while turning and applying gas. Then more recently I started experiencing intermittent shutter that felt deathly on the front right where that original noise was coming from. Still not exactly sure whats wrong, but the F10 is getting garaged until its figured out. Steering wheel shakes left to right pretty violently while braking during those moments.
Using a second lift to bring the car to standard height 36-38 cm is smart. I like it. I suppose I have to do the same when i have replaced my coil spring on my BMW F11 525D xdrive 2012.
Great video
Thanks Man! :-)
Thanks for the video 👏🏾
Thanks For Watching! :-)
super video
Hi, thanks for the great video 👍 Do the tension arms also cause vibrations during diving (without braking)? It's like a constant long vibration/swinging of the car. Sometimes I feel it in the steering wheel and sometimes through the seat. It doesn't happen all the time.
Thanks. Easy to follow and all steps included. Will be fun in 2 weeks when i will do mine
Thank You For Watching! :)
Thank you!
I have an issue with my 520d 2013 f10, when I press/release the gas pedal from 60kmh-110kmh, a vibration comes out. I have balanced my tyres, new brake pads, rotors and tyres and also changed the guibo/flex disc on the drive line but still has the vibration.
Great video thank you.I have a question please.What if we dont put the car in the normal height in order to tight the screws?I have replaced these arms also but my technician didn't put the car in normal height in order to tight the screws.Vibrations occur on braking but some times totally disappear...Do we have to tight the screws as described in this video?Is it mandatory?
I had same issues with e70 X5 3.0d
Have changed brakes and tyres vibrating was always here until I change them arms
Just curious if these tensioner arms are also referred to as lower control arms? Online it seems to show two different parts but are both called the same thing one has the ball joint and the other does not but they are both labeled as lower control arms for the exact same vehicle.
I wonder if this could be the reason to vibrate on F31 series as well.
I have problems with vibrations when braking, but not every time, sometimes the car is braking like new, and next time it starts to vibrate like it is going to fall apart. I have been at 4 mechanic shops and none of them can find the problem, they all say they dont see any problem
Hi , I have vibration with my f20 118d ,
I have replaced front wheel bearings , front discs and pads and also wheels are balanced.
I have vibration after 70 km/h and when I brake vibration increases when it's around 80-60 km/h.
Do you have an idea what could cause this
BMW🖤
Hi, does the suspension part same for F10 520i rwd. Slight vibration when light braking above 120kmh. Thanks.
Is g30 530d affected by this? I have vibration on braking. Changed discs and pads front and back. The problem keep coming back
F10 530d car has a vibration at roughly 60-80mph but not always. When heat gets into discs from braking 3-4 times in a row then it starts vibrating threw braking also. Discs and pads been changed multiple times but comes back after couple weeks. Mechanic can’t find the problem and just keeps replacing the discs and pads. Anyone got any ideas or had this problem before and know the solution?
I actually have this issue now. Hopefully this is the cause
hello, my f10 have vibration at 110kmh and its not the wheel...its all the car vibrating, its possible this arms cose this?
It would have helped to explain each piece as it was removed and then installed step by step. What is the one long screw that goes into the center of the rotor called? I Cannot get that to loosen at all
I know the video is two years old how did the meyle hd thrust arm working out for you?
Did the same on my car. The nut on the "balljoint" was a m....f..... to get off. Ended up cutting it almost in half and then used an impact gun to get it off.. Did you also change the bolt?. I changed the clipnut, but not the bolt. Asked one of the mechanics at my locale BMW dealer, where i bought the clipnuts, and he told me it was not necessary.
Got the brake drum cleaned and the inside wheel cleaned. No vibration. Cured £10
Finished changing all parts of front axle and... still got the same problem (but parts where worn and needed to be changed) ... big vibrations of the wheel when braking at higher speeds...
Now ordered new disks and pads 'again' ( they look new, all changed 2y ago ) fingers crossed.
Just a note : this job of Front Axle is way more difficult on E61 RWD
What do you think about 530/535d or petrol?
Grazie Francesco per questo ultimissimo video!
So in your case the vibrations and weird steering were fixed? Did you change both sides actually? In saluto di Germania! Felix
Yes Sir! :-)
Interesting choice of background music 😂
Hi Francesco and others f10 and f111 owners, if we dont do this fix, is dangerous to go in high speed auto with the car without fixing it? at this time i have not the liquidy to fix this and i dont have a reliable mechanic. so can anyone tell me if its safe ? since i have this car i just dont feel save in corners, since the car clearly folows the pot holes etc.....
Good 👍
It will fit for 525d from 2010 ?
Thx
I have a 540 g31, car still vibrates with new wheels, BMW says because of yhe tires, but still vibrating
I have the g30 3018 520d do you think it the same
Hii from INDIA, i have BMW F10 2014
I am facing vibration when it is around 1500-2000RPM and goes off above 3000 rpm or high speed …
The only vibration is with speed around 70-90KM/HR..
Can you please guide me?
Thanks for the help but what’s up with that music? I had to mute the video just to watch it
Can I order the parts with your number in the description from bmw?
even if brakes and vibrate ?
good demonstration man...
i got a problem in my F02 "RWD" when the car is cold and it start moving from 40-60 km/h i get a vibration or shaking abit like wheel balancing but it's not....
no errors...all front arms are new & aligned....
what's the cause...or what shall i check?
thanks appreciated🎈🎈
Rear Differential Bushings!
What sort of vibrations were you having? I have some in my 6 series. Can feel it through drivers foot rest. My discs are warped (uneven pad deposit) causing judder but I’m not ruling control arms out either
I’m having the same issue? Did you fixed it?
will this be something similar to an f30 328i? I been having vibration too, I feel it mostly around 40mph to 60mph. Altho i recently change upper and lower control arms and install new tires.
Check Differential Bushing on the rear Axle
Could you explain why you need to do the final 90 degree turn when tightening the nuts? Aren’t you over-torquing?
because the manufacturer says this, the final angle deforms the screw so as to avoid loosening over time ;-)
In order to get play in the axle so that you could remove the tension arm ball joint, did you have to tap on the axle bolt to losen it? I damaged my cv boot because i didnt have enough play.
I slipped it off easily by pushing
Ciao Francesco nella mia bmw 520 drive quando sterzo sia destra che a sinistra si sente un ticchettio costante ma solo in sterzata ed in movimento. Ho cambiato un giunto 600 euro ed il problema si è poi ripresentato. Il meccanico continua dirmi che se la porto da lui vede di riempire di grasso il giunto. Ma a te faceva lo stesso problema? Grazie ciao Paolo
Tienila così lo fanno tutte, le G30 lo fanno anche da nuove, i semiassi li cambi solo se fanno rumore Sempre, i miei sono leggermente rumorosi di traverso sulla neve, ma per il resto nessun problema o vibrazione, Saluti! Francesco.
Cant you just turn the wheel and dont take out the drive shaft?
BMW is telling me that the front tensioner bushings are EOL on my 93tkm F11 from 2016. I dont have any vibrations, neither braking nor at certain speeds. Does it make sense to have it checked nonetheless as I still have a used car warranty for another 6 months on the car?
Yes, Check It ;)
hey thank you for the video.
did that also make noise crack?
No, no noise...
Hola Francesco. Esa medida de 36-38 cm, es desde el centro del buje hasta donde? Hasta el paso de rueda? Gracias y buen tutorial!!
Yes Sir! from center hub to wheel arc!
Can this make the steering pull to the side too? I have a vibrating left before and after disc and pads replaced. The car also pulls to the left but no uneven tyre ware.
Yes Sir!
Ola Francisco, qd medes os 36 a 38cm depende se tem suspensão m? Medes do centro do buraco ou no rebordo do buraco da ponteira transmissao?abraco
do centro do buraco
The music🙈🤯
Could this be the cause of a slight wobble in the steering and a left pull? I've been through the usual culprits and had no luck!
Yes Sir!
Does the arm need to be jacked all the way "full compression" prior to final torque settings?
Yes!
Great vid, thanks for making. Do you know if the 85nm for the bolt and 100nm for the screw is the same for the F10 M5?
I've changed the equivalent arm but don't think my garage followed this process and im getting some bad sounds
My 66 plate 530 keeps juddering upon braking, had the pads changed twice and after a few hundred miles, it starts again. Ive read this a common fault, could this video be the answer? Possible causes - discs, calipers, suspension arms or wheel bearings?
use disc and brakes from same company
I changed mine and I still have the same thing 😢 ( disc’s , pads, and others) 😩😩
I will have to replace both lower and higher (top) tensioner arm on my 640d. Bottom one seems straightforward after your video. Do you know if there will be much more trouble with upper one ?
the upper one is more difficult yes
I'm not sure if it is my control arms... Knocking sound when braking and lifting off brakes in Hot weather... Slow speed and sound happens when driving over rough ground or bumps...?
Did you find solution, I have this exact symptom?
hey there. I replaced the same parts at the dealer and the vibrations tend to happen again at higher speeds on the highway but they are minor. Any clue what that could be?
Have the wheel balance checked really good, these cars are very very sensitive to wheel balance and vibration issues above 45mph. I have had the same issue from time to time and every time I had them rebalanced (if correctly done) the vibration went away with no other change. It is a little frustrating but we do have a lot of poor roads and pot holes that I avoid the best I can but it takes a toll on them for sure. Just something to look at since some installers claim it was balanced and when I had another shop check them right after they were balanced they found they were still off and even a little will make a difference. Not all balancing machines are equal but if done right you will notice the difference immediately in the smoother ride.
Wann kommen neue Videos ? 💪🏼
i have same issue with my bmw 5 series car . it drive good on straight road but some time it start pulling steering and leaving after some time and on applying brake it start shaking .. is this same part i need to replace ?
Yes Sir!
hello,
today i did this on my bmw 520i RWD, but now it's vibrating a bit more (how could this be possible) ps. i placed the work height on 40cm (before i measured, it was on 43cm) .
Engine Mount? Car Mileage?
Hello. I have a G30, and it’s role sometimes vibrates not always or not when I brake. Is it solution for that? Thanks in advance.
Brake Disc Deformed?
Hi mate
Have some problems when braking at 60km/h and above, the vibrations on the steering wheel is noticeable but don't know where it come from.
Car has been roiling for 275000km bit don't know the service history.
Any idea?
Brake Disc Warped?
@@FrancescoGalante91 it was the brake discs. After replacing them all is good
The axle screws are a one time use did you use the same one ?
No, I Replaced It :)
Nice! But I have problem with “floating” in high speeds (100km/h+). I have G31 530d xDrive. it's hard to keep the car going straight. I have to constantly make corrections with the steering wheel. I tried to buy new tires (18”) but the problem still persists. Do you have any idea, where could the problem be? Thank you
Could also be a convergence issue
Broken coil springs?
@tomasniklcz
Did you solved you Problem?
Ciao Francesca, I followed your advice and the wobble has disappeared, it was also causing the brakes to appear to have been warped. But I now have a fast vibration from 75mph onwards. I did the wheel alignment but still no. Any ideas? Grazie, Daren
Rear Differential Bushings, Check it!
@@FrancescoGalante91 Sorry. 'Francesco' 😇😇😇
I also have vibrations, but above 90 km, this is jumping or was there such a problem?
Yes but check rear differential Bushings...
Ciao secondo te si possono cambiare solo i silent block e poi che differenza c'è tra xdrive e normale ? Grazie
Si si possono "sboccolare" e tra xdrive e normale sono diversi, Saluti!
OK pour la vidéo, mais, quel était le kilométrage ( ou en miles ) de votre BMW ? Merci pour votre réponse.
143.000km actual
Hey sir! Do you have a repair manual for the f10? if so, where can I buy it? Thank you in advance! Really great videos!
There is no need to BMW buy repair manuals, if You have ISTA, its available there and BMW TIS is also available online: www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/
Whether the vibration disappeared immediately after the replacement or after 100,200 kilometers of driving?👍🏻
Immediately! ;)
Men how about when you car it’s not 4 wheel drive? It’s the same process??
Yes Sir!
Is this primarily for Xdrive equipped 5ers. My f10 535D is RWD but has a nasty vibration at freeway speeds. In my seat vs the steering wheel so assuming this wont help me.
RWD or xDrive for tension Strut are same problems... ;)
@@FrancescoGalante91 my local tire shop found two issues. First tires were counter balanced, and second driver rear strut is blown.
Hi did you manage to sort out the problem? I'm having vibrations throughout the whole car (steering wheel and seats) at speed (roughly 50-170km/h) and while braking. I checked the rims several times, bought new tyres, changed the components and rebalanced the driveshafts and looked at the transfer case. This car is giving me a hard time. 2016 535d xDrive with 150k km. I don't know what else to do.
@@user-kx8qr7ym8s i was good with braking.Did find out my passenger rear shock was blown, so replaced both rears. I ended up getting some new tires. Told the guys i was having issues with a shimmy . Idk if they went extra on balancing. But it seems to be better now. I do notice when the tires are cold theres still a slight vibration. but here in phoenix its fine in the summer.
Hello. Did you have vibrations only when braking or also when driving at a speed of about 120 km / h?
Only when braking...
What is the problem if you have vibration while driving about 120kmh as you said
@@felixblond007 i hawe same problem i hawe e60 530d 231hp 2006 its big vibration from front when i accerlate wibration gons this wibration is on 110-140kmh if you find this problem pls say what is.
@@denishuseinov5862 check ballancing of Drive shaft, I have small rattle vibration on steering wheel while driving 55-60mph (no brakes). From my experience of big truck feels the same, but mine bmw was from 50k miles with that. Also need check all joints and bushings on drive shaft.
