HOW TO BMW E34: 'dogbone' pitman arm replacement

[@fubarTheMagnificent]

Thanks for posting. Mechanic wanted $420 parts and labor to do this on my 1988 M6. I found OEM's for $99.00 and using your video as a guide took 2 hours total. Satisfying, quick project and money saved. now time for a beer.

+fubarTheMagnificent That's awesome mate! Glad I could help you out. I'll be putting up another video soon showing how to replace front suspension too, just in case you had that in mind.

[@GreyGhostR1]

VERY helpful, thank you. I just did mine. Click-clang over speed bumps is gone and car is a lot more boring (in a good way!) in the corners.

[@CYFODAC]

Great video! I just replaced them on my e28. The process was the same. Thank! Subscribed.

E34s are the best aren’t they?

[@Marc-zn4fo]

i just bought a 520i as my fist car, yes it's a bit underpowered but 150hp is a great starting point. it needs some love but that's why i bought it :)

[@shakcs6529]

How is it going?

[@projet_e3497]

Good job ! I look in France 🇫🇷 👍

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

Extremely helpful video🙄👍👌

[@christinashiels1512]

Extremely helpful. Cheers 😘

What would happen without one? I looked under my car and it seems the left one is missing and the other one is in need of replacement. Maybe that's why my suspension feels bad.

[@SamuelVella1995]

+Hoon Garage I'd think your rear end would feel slightly dodgy or loose? I know my car felt tighter at the rear when cornering after replacing mine.

[@sidabdalah2519]

Why didn't you put the jack from the other side to give you more space to work, greetings dear

[@sd003m]

Good job! Have you done the valve cover gasket yet on your m60? Do more DIY videos! Cheers

[@SamuelVella1995]

Hey, thanks! I have indeed. It was one of first things I did to my car when I got it - I also repainted the valve covers

[@KG-hq2vt]

Nice video. However you have the inner bolt on the wrong way. Bolt goes through the top and the washer and nut go on the bottom. Also the washer goes between the bolt and trailing arm on the outer bolt.

[@chunylau]

Hi Samuel, have you ever changed the aux fan on a E34? I wonder how difficult it is and if you have any video doing that. Thanks, Daniel

[@KurtofTrades]

What color car is this?

[@Infental14]

Thanks for the Video! Beautiful Car :D

[@SamuelVella1995]

+Infental14 No problems and thanks!

[@Resq28]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@Rdavid8oh5]

+Tiger Black If you dont know what oil filter or what brand of oil is recommended for your car. Just use the almighty google search or join a bimmerforum. Tons of information to learn there. I myself use Wix brand oil filter and Mobile 1 full synthetic oil, but recently changed to castrol edge and its great 👍. Go on some forums or google. fr tho my dude.

[@FiretruckInc]

+Samuel Vella Is this procedure the same for the front dogbones?

[@SamuelVella1995]

+FiretruckInc Hey! There aren't any 'dogbones' in the front suspension. The closest thing to them would be the sway bar links, and they are also very simple to change. In my front suspension video it shows how to disconnect your sway bar links if that helps.

[@suhaibchobi]

some one did reverse to a pole , well I did that to my E34 :))
