[@Engineerboy100]

To use your cup instead of washers turn the cup around and use it backwards.

Great video series on the rear sub assembly! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the front work.

[@SeanScarbrough]

Hey good vid man! Thanks for showing the details on how to remove those bushings. This is something I need to do but have been putting off for quite some time.

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

Very nice upgrade, Chris! Regards Nico.

[@TheBimmerBarn]

Thanks Nico! Can't wait to drive it now

Hey Bimmerbarn, how do the RTABs feel on this car? I have black powerflex RTAB bushings, I've been meaning to install them for 3 years now lol. Finally getting around to it and I'm doing some research on the RTABs. How did yours turn out?

Dude! Your Killin me with the two wrenches. Take a deep well, cut it in the middle. Buy a piece of iron pipe about 24" long that is the same od as the socket of has an I'd that is the same as od of the socket. Weld em together. Bam! Sooper deep well for studds like that

[@karolalbin]

Thanks for video

I think you need to do something with this rusty nuts and bolts in this lovely matt black subframe. I recommend metal blacking solution

[@TheBimmerBarn]

Yeah they stick out now that everything else looks clean! I need to buy a bolt tumbler so I can have all my bolts look fresh 🔩

[@bartoszkotowski8281]

@@TheBimmerBarn all you need a to even sand blast them or clean up with wire wheel best one is a bench mounted and just buy that blacking solution. All you need to do than just dip them in and they turn black and that is a very good anticorosion protection. In UK 🇬🇧 the solution is about £25 for a 1liter bottle. Just watch it on KZbin 🤣 really easy to do. And the results are brilliant

[@TheBimmerBarn]

@@bartoszkotowski8281 trust my I love watching KZbin videos, I'll look into it! I want to get a bench wire wheel, definitely would let me clean stuff up faster. Thanks!

1.16 turn the cup around so the nut is inside it then it will fit

[@bmw0208]

Hey what lifts are you using at all? wanted to get a set and need to do this job on mine as well !

[@Nina_39-c5l]

do you recomend it for a dairy car for normal use?

[@rayray3009]

Does the ride suffer with the poly bushings? this is going to be a great driver

[@TheBimmerBarn]

Not in my experience! You get tighter suspension, maybe slightly more road noise depending on your tire and shock setup.

[@gvdan1407]

This is all the bushings system for the e46?

[@TheBimmerBarn]

There's plenty more options and bushings you can upgrade with Powerflex, but these two are definitely what I would recommend for your E46! Great upgrade. Thanks for watching!

[@bartoszkotowski8281]

Why can't I paste a screenshot from your video 🤔

[@fastlanenigeria]
