And he also sprayed copper anti-seize on the brake rotor.

Good video but a couple of small adjustments needed. Firstly - WD40 isn't really ideal when used to dismantle components, It works here because they aren't actually rusty, but on a car used in salty / winter weather (aka british weather) you need a proper penetrating oil to get into the rust. (and they're available at usually a similar price / cheaper than WD40!) Second point - It's worth making a note / mark of which direction the bush was pointing before removing it from the arm to allow you to install it at the right angle (or as close to it as possible) or putting it back on the car will be a pain! Third point - WD40 makes lots of different types of rubber swell / degrade more quickly. So you'd be better off using a silicone oil / red rubber grease / motorcycle chain lube even! for assembling the bush. Fourth point - I wouldn't advise copper grease for the alloy wheel / brake interface. There are better alternatives (something that handles heat better) if you must use it, but lots of mechanics wouldn't recommend it at all! Lastly, If you're spraying grease near the disc you should be cleaning them off after as well to stop contaminating the pads. Like I said, overall it's a very helpful video, but just these few additions in later films would make it better still!

Yes, absolutely right! Use butter or dish washer soap to install those bushings

Why would you reuse the same bushing from the old one??? Wtf

Yeah mechanic here, penetration oil and rubber = failure. Grease. Use grease.

I wish I knew before in what mess I was getting myself into this guy makes it seem like is peaches and gravy, but it is not my tools to go was a mallet and grinder and lots of 4 letter words

thanks for the video and yes I just got an alignment yesterday on my 2005 Z4 but still noticed when I brake or coming down to lower speed sometimes my steering wheel shimmy or vibrate a little and goes away. Is this due to the lower control arm bushing you think? Yes I do hear the minor metal clunk when I turn at random or like a sound of crackling.

It is , I had the same problem and I’m currently replacing mine. An easy way to see if it’s your bushing is to lift your car in the air and try shaking the wheel, if the bushings are bad the wheel will shake and will have a lot of play.

I had no issue removing but i am unable to reinstall new bushing 😭 i need one of those table clamps maybe, and a table 🤯

I have problem with one arm…the left is original mpack…..can I put myele hd on the right side ? Or they need be the same ?

It is recommended to replace both levers, but you can put MEYLE HD on the right side, it is not necessary that it be the same manufacturer, after this replacement, adjust the alignment.

The most amazing thing to see here is that they appear to have found an E46 with no obvious signs of rust!!! I wonder where they got that.....A museum perhaps? lol The video is a useful guide, but why go to all that trouble to fit brand new arms, then refit them with a used bush? Really they should all be changed at once or ideally, replaced with poly bushes that will last a lot longer.
