  • Just an FYI...

    It is not necessary to drain and drill the fluid from the OEM strut unless you absolutely suck with an angle grinder.

    You can easily cut the top off and pull the old cartrige as a whole. I drilled and drained the first one, then skipped that step on the 2nd one.

    Thanks for the video though, it's otherwise fantastic.

  • @BEATYOAZ - You have to drill a hole in the bottom for the bolt anyway, so there's no point in not draining the oil at that point.

  • okay so what are the part numbers for the strut insert? and can you do this on 325i struts at all?

  • @defkon99 - Those will not fit 325i housing, they only fit E36 M3 housings. Part number for the E36 M3 fitment is 8641-1342Sport

  • you didnt use a file to file down the inside rivet?

  • There weren't any rivets inside the housing, everything on the E36 M3 housings are welded.

  • i took my front shocks to a local tire shop where they cut and drilled it for me. It only cost me $30

  • THAT IS REAL DIY!!! NO ONE PICTURE(S) CAN REPLACE VIDEO!!!

    THANKS MAN

  • @michaelm109 most likely its your rear shock mounts

  • is dust boot missing on the shaft?

  • @MrMillTicket lazy i am, but in this situation thats not the case. i have limited tools and no garage. most of my work is done next to a side walk. the less steps, the better

  • @CrashBandikoot7 you are just lazy man. its so easy.

  • question?? my m 3 is lowered and i just got ucc motorworks lowr control arms to fix my camber but now when i get above 70 or 80 it feels like the rear of my car is very loose and espically when i hit bumps what would cause this?
