BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Hi guys Putting my e36 325i rear end back together, i ordered the front diff carrier bush from bmw last week (part # 33171134871). I now find out that it is ex Germany and a 2 week wait, i need the car back on the road by next Wednesday. What should i do? I have already removed the bush and its pretty munted. Any help or ideas would be great. Cheers Niroy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Hi Glenn, I ordered that bush from a bmw dealer and they told me that there is none in NZ. Was wondering do you think that i could get someone to remove a bush from a 2nd hand subframe? least that way the car can be put back together untill the new bush comes. I didnt have the correct removal tool but someone who does should be able to take it out without breaking it?

camera doctor 25 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Maybe a little tight, but could you Fed-Ex part ex Germany or USA ? I have got parts ex USA by DHL or FedEx or EMS in 2-3 days Will not be cheap though ..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are press in type..use once only. 2nd hand no good unless you buy the whole frame with a good bush in it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2078 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) What about that epoxy polyurethaney stuff. Cant remember the trade name but you essentially make your own bush using it. Ive never used it but a mate has and says it cool stuff. Edited January 5, 2011 by Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted January 6, 2011 Sounds like a good idea, where does it come from? Does that mean i have to make a mould etc? What about that epoxy polyurethaney stuff.
