E36 Front Suspension Overhaul

Описание: In this video I finally get the front suspension sorted on the E36 track car (minus actually setting the alignment on it) but I throw in the new front control arms, Revshift control arm bushings, E36 M3 king pins, wheel bearing, and everything else. I will be address the front sway bar on a later video as I will be converting from the standard E36 control arm mounted sway bar link to the E36 M3 link which connects to the strut housing.

In addition, during editing this video I realized there was an issue with the lower strut mounts being reversed. These were installed when owned by the previous owner and I assumed they were installed correctly between left and right but it's clear to me they are installed incorrectly. With that said, I did catch the issue after I filmed this work and switched them around.

Key torque specs:
Wishbone outer ball joint: 65Nm
Wishbone inner ball joint: 90Nm
Wishbone FCAB bracket: 47Nm
Strut to knuckle (lower): 107Nm

Stub axle nut (wheel bearing): 290Nm
Strut mount to chassis: 34Nm (for stock nuts)
