Totally agree, I just finished replacing the springs, but I swear, every single cuss word in the English dictionary flew out of my mouth whilst doing this job. I hate working on this car, but man, is it fun to drive 😭

As others have already said, it is very hard to put the control arm bold back in! But it is possible if you loosen and adjust the camber bolt so the arm moves out as far as possible. If you do it this way remember to mark the bolt position before hand

Hello Andy can you please tell me how to do it right? I have the problem you wrote. What bolt to loosen?

@andyturnbull6720 3 жыл бұрын

Kesking I’m guessing you fixed it by now, but for others it’s the bolt that holds the other end of the arm to the subframe. It’s eccentric, so as you turn it the arm moves in or out.

Better to loosen the inner bolts on the camber arm before pulling it down to remove spring. The inner bushes will be overstreched and get torn, if you do it as shown in the video. Mark the exact position of the eccentric bolts before loosening them. Then put back in original position afterwards.

Good video but lower suspension mounts should be torqued to spec. Lower control arm should also be torqued on the ground

Do you recommend replacing the spring upper and lower pads as well, when you replace the springs?

Hey I’m currently replacing my rear springs on my e92. At 2:00 what technique do you use with the screw driver to remove the through bolt from the lower control arm? I have mines half way though but it doesn’t want to come all the way out

@autodocuk 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the feedback! Try to force the bolt with a screwdriver until hard stop, while keeping the bolt rotate counterclockwise. Best regards, Autodoc.

If you go to part 2:54, what is that little rubber part that you put onto the spring? You didnt show that coming out?

@autodocuk 3 ай бұрын

In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing may be slightly different is the design features of your car. More accurate information can be obtained from the technical documentation for the car or by contacting the car service.

I tried this and it does not work! Do not remove the e12 bolts at 1:13. If you do that, you're going to have to use a prybar to shimmy the rubber boot out of the control arm (which works although is a huge pain), but the near impossible part is to put it back in after the spring is in. Instead, remove the bolt that connects the rubber boot from the shock. Then there is no shimmying of the rubber boot out of the control arm; the strut just comes clean out from the rubber boot. You can see the rubber boot in question at 2:30 and how he magically got it separated from the control arm without any effort. Then he magically gets the rubber boot back in between 3:47 and 3:53 - see how the frame ends with the rubber boot out of the control arm, then he looks at it, then beginning of the next frame it's inside the control arm.

The springs coils are not together with the strut assembly in the front. Also you have many other parts and bolts to take off compared to the back!! Impact drill makes it looks easy for certain!!

You're absolutely right. In practice you should definitely use a torque wrench and keep to the appropriate tightening torques.
