E86 Replacing the front arb

Post by Thrustyjust » Sat Nov 21, 2020 12:19 am

Quick couple of questions as replacing my rusty front arb with a cleaner and re-epoxied replacement but.......
1/ I hope I can replace this without the bumper coming off ?
2/ Replace without the undertray coming off ?

Hoping to replace by undoing the drop links and removing the bushes and wiggling it out .
Also,the droplinks , I am looking to replace , even though they seem fine ,but belt and braces and all that. Looking at the Meyle HD ones listed for the E46. I take these are the same as I need , as Autodoc say yes and other places say no.......... Part no 31356780847
I have already fitted poly bushes on the arb, which is how I found it was pretty badly pitted and rotten,so will be reusing these as ony run 500 miles on the bar. So then it will be done. All part of the Xmas SORN project :thumbsup:
