FOR RENT: Rear Subframe Bushing Remover/Installer Tool for E39 Sedan AND Touring

[M5 Jed]

I'm selling the solid bushing for $65 plus shipping.

Try ECS Tuning, AutohausAZ, Pelican Part and bavauto.com, those places usually have the better prices. Yes, buy the Meyle HD.

Interesting that your rear passenger side sits lower. In my case, all my BMWs sits slightly lower on the rear driver corner. Old, new fresh bushing, new springs and shocks, it's the same deal. It's very possible that with the dead subframe bushing, it can cause one side to sit lower. Also you might want to check the cams on the trailing arms which set the rear camber.

Couldn't find info in this thread but is the Meyle HD that much better than the Lemfoerder ones?

[M5 Jed]

I think there's a thread here in the Touring subforum discussing the Meyle HD vs Lems. I prefer the HD since they are solid.

[fire730]

Thanks Jed.
Solid sounds better to me.
I'll be in touch to rent the tool when I have the bushings in my hands.

[M5 Jed]

Tool is ready and available to whoever wants to rent it next.

[RodimusPrime]

I guess I'm next.

[M5 Jed]

Sending you a PM.

I'm ready whenever it is my turn. Thank you.

What is the possibility is renting the subframe bushing tool to someone in Canada?

[fredrios]

M5 Jed - Just checking back. Any update on when the tool is ready? Just wanted to make sure I am correctly requesting the rental. Thank you.

[fredrios]

I am following up on my previous messages above. I would like to rent the bushing tool, but I haven't heard back. How do I go about receiving a PM?

[aliaw528]

I would like to work out renting the subframe bushing tool when you are done fredrios. I am up the road from you in Fremont, so I could arrange to get it from you locally. Thanks.

[M5 Jed]

I just got the tool back from RodimusPrime yesterday. Will clean it up and get it ready to go out Monday.

I don't have a problem sending the tool to Canada. Will have to check shipping cost through. Can I put you 3rd in line after these 2 neighboring members?

[M5 Jed]

I'm ready whenever it is my turn. Thank you.

Sending you a PM.

@M5Jed- what do you mean you have to clean it up? I had to run them twice in the dishwasher w/extra Honest. Lol

Anyhow, don't mean to steal Jed's thread, but can someone help me out by taking a picture of the Self Leveling Sensor connector found on the rear right passenger with wires (yellow/black, yellow/gray, yellow/brown). My wires got pulled out when I lowered my subframe down. Please take a close up pic. Trying to assemble my touring right now. Much appreciated.

[M5 Jed]

Lol! I just assume the tool doesn't get cleaned by the last renter. Half the time it does return to me very clean, half the time they don't bother to button things up and just throw everything in, grease and grass and all.

I inspected the tool last night, it's perfect and clean. Thank you very much for taking the time to clean it!

[aliaw528]

Hi Fredrios, can you let me know when the tool is in your possession and not in use. I have a spare subframe that I can just throw in the car and come down and freshen up with the new bushings if that works out for you. If you need a hand, I could probably help out for a bit as well. Thanks.

Jed, I need to rent the differential bushing tool as well to replace the 2 big diff bushings. If it is available, please contact me to arrange for rental.

Thanks.

[M5 Jed]

I have the diff bushing tools available as well so I can rent it out.

I have not heard from fredrios yet. If I don't hear from him in the next couple of days, you can rent it out.

Pardon the misspelling on the member's names. I've tried to edit and correct but the app just keeps telling me of an error on the edit.
