BMW E36 (1994) ball joint issues

Post by **j_robi** » 15 Sep 2007, 18:39

Its not VW, but its close!

Having issues, not sure what next move should be.

Replace the lower ball joint, after going for a short drive (almost immediately) it popped out of the lower wish bone.
It was pressed in properly.

Any suggestions as to why this might of happened, and how i'm best to go about doing it next time?

Thank you

Been through this before myself, might be better off buying a whole arm from Euro car parts, its just not worth the messing about.
