How do I reinstall idler arm bushings???
72ITB replied to murphykevin15's topic in BMW 2002 and other '02
When I cleaned my sub frame it looked brand new, no VISIBLE crack in motor mount. I thought I had gotten off easy but the words of the FAQ haunted me- "when it cracks not if it cracks", so I decided to reinforce it. When I ground the paint off to weld it up sure enough the was a little 5/8" hairline crack. Glad I took the time to do it now -

I removed the black insert and used a razor blade to add more taper to the edge of the blue plastic and then tapped them in with a plastic mallet. It did not look like they would fit but this worked. -
I always wondered if the hood bar contributed to bracing the strut towers? albeit it's not directly attached but did BMW use that fat bar just for the hood? spanning the width of the car?
