BMW Control Arm Bushing Tool - CTA Manufacturing 8920

I used the tool to remove old bushings and install new control arm bushings. The tool made the job simple and fast. BONUS: I did not have to fight getting the bushing to align with the stud holes. Once I was able to thread one bolt in finger tight, I used the tool to slide the bushing forward or backward to align the second stud hole. No beating or prying as in the past. Perfect tool for the job. Worth every penny.

Easy to use. Pulled the bushing off my arm perfectly. 1997 E36 328is

I purchased new front lower control arms for my '99 BMW M3 along with the control arm bushings. I've installed the bushings in their "lollipops" before without using proper tools, and vowed never to do it again until I had access to the proper tool. FCP Euro has such a tool, and I bought one with the my new suspension parts. Definitely worth the money.

I thought I could change my bushings without this tool after watching two youtube videos of success without the tool. I got the old bushing off but could not get the new one on. I was trying some pretty high-tech stuff but was missing by about 1/2". The whole time I'm doing things that could turn out way bad. Not wanting to risk expensive damage left me broke down for a week while I waited for the tool to arrive. After ten minutes of applying the tool and hand cranking the 24mm nuts I was done. Admittedly, 5 minutes was just looking the tool over and learning how it works. Very, very heavy and strong. This is a forever tool that you will sell to get your money back or pass down through endless generations (until they stop making BMWs). Even with the cost of the tool, pricey, I saved about half the cost of a dealer repair. I would buy it again each time I needed it but I'm keeping this one. We have BMWs in the family.
