If there's another 2-3 guys interested in the tapered washers (aside from those already on waitlist), I will check to see if we can get a other batch of 10 sets done up.

If you are aiming to remove the upper arms, those bolts require the subframe at least to be loosen to get those inner bolts out. It hits the chassis if you don't.

I've been good this year so Santa dropped by with the rest of the goodies for this conversion.
Meyle 3147100005 Bearings (Item B) Meyle with tapered washer Meyle with ECS rear trailing arm (fits nicely!) Edit - These Meyle bearings are from the 'Meyle-Original' product line and there's a 'Made In Turkey' sticker on the box (so, not a China product that some people are concerned about). Comparing the Meyle bearing with a Lemforder bearing I have (for the rear camber arm, hub-side). The Lemforder has a polished outer shell whereas the Meyle one doesn't. However, the Lemforder shell shows rust spots. The Meyle inner ring looks higher quality than the Lemforder one. I tried to spin both bearings and both are tight. Maybe not meant to be spinnable by hand. Hopefully the Meyle ones will last. BimmerWorld Rear Camber Arm Bearing Kit (Item A) The BW rear camber arm bearing kit has 3 components - the bearing itself, an inner sleeve (2 pcs per bearing) and an outer sleeve. Will post more when I have them installed. Last edited by Redd; 01-15-2021 at 06:48 PM.. |

You can get them out without touching the SF. I have done so. The only issue is fitting the torque wrench when re-installing.

I did not need to cut the bolts for the upper arms. The only rear bolt that needs cutting is the sway bar end link bolt where it attaches to the hub assembly.

Question - when replacing the rear trailing arm bushings, do you guys have a specific tool (or method) you recommend?
I was looking at the Bav auto tool kit # B8800101 but wasn't sure if this was the best option, or if it was necessary. |

Just installed the BimmerWorld rear camber arm bearing kit. The outer sleeve slides in freely by hand and needs to be tack welded to the subframe. Also pressed out the rear trailing arm bushing on the subframe (inboard) side and pressed in the Meyle spherical bearings. No drama, and no NVH to speak of. Haven't driven the car hard so can't comment on any differences yet.
The stock rubber bushes were in surprisingly good shape despite having 137k kms on them. The rear camber arm bush was compressed slightly on one side probably due to the weight of the car, but otherwise looks to be in good shape. It wasn't dried out or brittle. Also pressed the Meyle bearings into the wishbones and guide rods. Again, no complications - they went in straight and smooth. Will find some time to get the arms installed soon together with new wheel bearings. |

I guess everyone found out Schirmer sells the same Meyle bearings at 2-3x the price and ordered them off FCP.

Got all the new arms with sphericals installed with no issues. The blue circlips are Meyle bearings. Replaced the camber arm outboard bearings with new Lemforders as there was play at 137k kms. Camber arm inboards are BW Camber Arm Bearing Kit.
'While I was there' I also did rear wheel bearings, ECS trailing arms, Powerflex Street (Yellow) rear shock mounts, and also recond the half shafts since some of the CV boots were torn. So basically a whole rear end refresh. Then we discovered that the power steering rack was leaking so I had to get that done, too. Car's still up in the air waiting for the rack. Can't wait to drive it! Last edited by Redd; 01-22-2021 at 09:15 PM.. |

Wow I didn't know that was possible. I'll looking into that as well in my area.
