Changing Control Arms
Hello, I own a 2011 335i Xdrive sedan.
I am feeling and hearing a big click noise when I almost come to a complete stop. I think that it is my front right lower control arm because the bushing seems pretty worn out. The install procedure is extremely simple, but I was still wondering if I should really load the suspension before retightening the bolts. If so, how would be the best way to do it and till what level do I need to load/lift it. I know we can't see much, but here are some pictures of the bushing. Thanks for your time! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1F5...WYIdeGB085HNeF https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Se...vvSWxLw38ZBSKz Last edited by TheGoodTheBadTheUgly; 08-06-2018 at 03:20 AM.. |

You do. Best would be to button everything up including wheels, and set the car down on ramps. You can then torque the bolts to their proper spces.

Ok, that seems like the most logical thing so far I am just worried that if I rest the car down with bolts that are not totally torqued, the parts might move under the weight and warp or become crooked.
