noob question... why did you heat the shaft where the bushing goes?
-
@benton386 Keep me updated on that one because I have 318 and was wondering how to gain some more power. I don't think the car was ever looked after properly because of what I have so far every time I was replacing stuff. Paid a grand and spent nearly the same but you can't put a price on the fun i have in it.

@benton386 thanks man i just got new shocks though so im sure i will be good.
-
@benton386 YES thank you i think mine are bad because there 11 years old and stock the shocks were stock until 152k miles so they were horrible and im getting my bushings replace soon dont know when

did the bad bushing like cause your steering wheel to move and shake up and down when you hit lttle bumps because my 2000 gmc sierra does that the steering wheel will move up and down and its annoying

@joeldude76 That pretty much describes it. A ball joint can do that too, but a bad control arm bushing is much more noticeable. This condition is usually caused by bad shocks, or speed bumps, or hitting curb like obstacles at high speeds. or all of the above LOL.

oh and so after the replacement bushings were in im guessing that it fixed it as in made the steering wheel and car feel more solid?

@joeldude76 100% difference, very solid and smooth. Replace the shocks or you will destroy them again in no time. You will need an alignment after completing the job.
You can save money by getting parts from rockauto dot com. They are about a third to half off what it cost at local auto parts stores.

I jacked my 318CI SE 2002, up with the jack that comes with the car. Took front left wheel off. Removed the cover underneath the car. The Bush looked worn and had plenty of play in it but, it was a tough bastard to remove. Didn't heat it, just a 2b4 and heavy hammer. Took 3hrs tho but, with the new rear coil springs we fitted yesterday the car is running extra proper smooth.

@TheDjSweets I am getting a 318 next. The 318 has a lot more room to work with under the hood and is better on gas. I know the 328 is faster, but gas is going to going up. I am confident I can get a nice increase with a few easy mods to a 318. I am guessing the bottom of the car is very similar to the 328I.
