I tried turned it near the base, but I didn't want to try harder, fearing it might make a nasty breaking sound. So, is it simply a matter of grabbing and turning the mast?

Our '85 325e has all the original BMW hoseclamps and they are indeed good. I have never had hoseclamps that old hold up so well. How much does BMW get for the clamps anyway?

Usually these places distinguish between foreign and domestic but that about it! It's pot-luck in those places, 50-50 shot at finding something decent, but the prices are right! I just got an e36 abs pump for $50, lord knows if it works! The lady thought it was a master cylinder. Damn those furren cars got funny shaped parts! But it's furren and it's aluminum so it's gotta be expensive, gimme $50 bucks and we even! LOL The other is the German exclusive or even the BMW dedicated yards. These guys is where you go when you don't wanna mess around. Expect to pay good $ for what you want. Many times I wind up at the dealer with my jobber pricing getting very close to what the BMW/german yards want for rare parts. Paul A.

Boy, I bet you pay top dollar for that diff. Unless the "monkeys" bit was in jest...

I apologize... I need to replace the control arms on my '93 325is. I have m3 offset chassis side bushings at the rear of the arm (can't remember what they're really called). Pulling the entire arm _looks_ straight forward except possibly for the bushings above. Will I be able to remove/reinstall the bushings without special tools? How about with a hydraulic press and some patience? If I do need special tools, can someone describe for me how they work so that I can make my own? Thanks!

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy, A question on Delrin front control arm bushings for an e36 (and it sounds like e30's are similar?)... >From looking at the pictures, it would appear that the inner metal shell of the bushing stays fixed to the control arm while the outer metal shell stays fixed to the chassis mount. Wouldn't this mean that these bushings would add stiction/binding to the front suspension? My initial thought was that a roller bearing setup would be much more suited for this application. Or, along with a modified control arm, a heim joint. What's the real story?

Another question related to these bushings... Is there an inner steel shell that rides on the control arm that I can hit with a press? Otherwise, it would appear that I'll destroy the bushing getting it off the arm, correct? These pictures are inconclusive... http://www.turnermotorsport.com/image/suspension/susp_cab_standard_lg.jpg http://www.turnermotorsport.com/image/suspension/susp_cab_offset_lg.jpg http://www.turnermotorsport.com/image/suspension/suspension_hp_carmbush_lg.jpg Thanks for the help!
