Replaced mine and made a significant improvement in the rear. Excellent tutorial!

[@MyersMotors]

Thanks!

detailed turorials thanks so much

Just fitted these to my car a week ago, this video would have really come in handy. Superb explanation, presentation, videography, will probably become a reference video in the future. Liking your wheels dude, already looks pretty low to me, unless this video was uploaded after lowering but before uploading the lowering video if you get what I mean lol. Just wait 'till you get to the axle beam bushes....great fun!😎

[@MyersMotors]

Thank you, I really appreciate it! It did look really lowered on camera, but I think it was the fisheye of the lens mixed with the camera angle. And yup, those do look like fun. There are a lot of bushings that need some love back there. One thing at a time...

To the point no trying to be a gameshow host. Well done.

[@MyersMotors]

That's what I shoot for. Thanks!

[@wolz256]

you are a very good instructor

[@TheHunterHofman]

Interesting stuff man, loving an E34. I actually had an E34 535i as my first car; such a great car. Keep the videos coming.

[@MyersMotors]

That's awesome! Appreciate the continued support 👍

[@gk-m5855]

Cool man #E34love

[@alexjrtony350]

Great video! If I still had my e34 I would have checked this part. Mine was a 1989 525i 5spd with 298k miles and it was also my first car. It's what led me to buy a e92 328i lol.

[@MyersMotors]

Thanks! That's an awesome first car! Definitely hard to end up with just one BMW lol

[@mikomahaney49]

I just got 1991 525i so your videos are so helpful I’m trying learn as much needed.

[@MyersMotors]

Congrats on the purchase! Glad you find them helpful, good luck!

[@carreteras101]

Well done! Excellent tutorial and explanation. Subscribed. Thanks

[@MikeBMW]

Awesome video and great content. Thanks, gotta do that soon!

[@MyersMotors]

Appreciate it! Best of luck 👍

[@Biosynchro]

I personally would like to see you wearing protective eyewear underneath the car. ;-) Anyway, I really like your videos. I'm a past and future BMW owner!

[@stevenchinery8119]

I've bought Lemforder pitman links in the past as they are the Oem manufacturer. They clearly have have the bmw logo and part numbers removed from them

[@MyersMotors]

Gotcha, that's good to know. I got these in a tub of parts with another car, they're definitely better than the old parts at the very least.

[@stevenchinery8119]

Great video, when I last looked at this, the parts file (real Oem / bmw fans) differed on order of hardware to the bmw TIS (technical information System). I went with the TIS order as that is what the techs would have access to in the workshop.

[@MyersMotors]

There did seem to be some confusion online as to what goes where, so I just put things back in as they came out. Do you happen to remember what the TIS said?

Teşekkürler

[@davey_projects2977]

That was quite interesting. I wonder if anyone has retrofitted something similar on an e30. And why did they feel the e34 needed it. Heavier car perhaps.

[@MyersMotors]

That's a good question. I'm assuming it is something to do with handling the extra mass. Would definitely be cool to see if something like that could be fitted to an e30 and what effect it would have.

[@wolz256]

my 85 5 Series has this setup as well

[@samuelgonzalezhorakova9536]

Cuando voy en la 2 marcha y piso el coche a unas 5 rpm noto una vibración muy fuerte en la parte trasera , como una sacudida , crees que podría ser esta pieza ? En curvas lo noté pero solo dando gas .

[@samuelgonzalezhorakova9536]

When I go in 2nd gear and floor the car at about 5 rpm I notice a very strong vibration in the rear, like a jolt, do you think it could be this part? In curves I noticed it but only giving gas. I really appreciate your response friend.🙏

[@juniordavidson1519]

Not entirely true as to what the e34 pitman arm does.

Enlighten me
