I am not an expert or a mechanic please follow these at your own risk. I'd love to know if I'm doing it right though so please, please leave me some feedback if there's anything I need to correct.
THANKS.
Here's a link to the PDF: Wishbone DIY |
Snowfro, thanks for the DIY's! This attachement may help. Please see the attached PDF showing torque values for the control arms on the e83. This also has the torque values for the front "Tension Strut". I just recently changed mine out.
It is recommened that all these parts be torqued with the X3's wheels on the ground.
Otherwise, the bushings can fail prematurely.
