Easy E30 / E36 / Z3 Subframe Bushings & RTABs // Part 1 - Disassembly

Feeling generous? buymeacoffee.com/andrewhkim ☕️☕️☕️

Time to do the dreaded subframe bushings & rear trailing arm bushings? Don’t worry. No need to burn it out and further contribute to global warming. There’s an easy way to do it by yourself, with 1 jack, and no brake bleeding necessary. For the bushings themselves, you can use 1 relatively inexpensive off-the-shelf special tool (no mods needed, no piecing together different bits). In this video, I give an overview & disassembly/prep to get at the bushings.
