Does anyone know if.....

[Simon13]

The E30 lolipop bracket will fit on an E36 saloon? I'm going to fit E30 front arms to it but it would be much easier if i can leave the lolipop on and bolt the whole lot in

Ta

I haven't looked under the e36 yet too see

[zaust]

From memory it fit's but sit's the wheel in the wrong place. Some one will confirm soon i'm sure.

E30 and E36 lollipops are the same, as are Z3's.

Bolt the whole lot on. But..........could I possibly have the old lollipops? Doesn't matter if you shag the bushes as I'm putting E30 'bones and eccentric bushes on da Compact and want to fit it all in one go and not have to fuck about. I can send you my lollipops back if you want them.

i did this to the mrs e36 and it much improved the drive . i fitted e30 arms and lolipops with poly bushes works well

[harry_p]

what difference does it make?

[Simon13]

e30 arms have all steel ball joints, e36 have rubber in them somewhere? and they don't last very long so i'm told.

Thats excellent Andy! You can have the old ones. The bushes are hammered and it's doing my head in!

These E30 arms are off PYF and have M3 eccentrics fitted should liven the 316 up a bit lol

am still getting used to the directness of the steering after we put the m3 lollipop bushes on. v impressed tho!

[markevans]

hi sorry to steal the fread but i have a 1995 compact and just want to confirm that e30 bottom arms fit straight on and can i just change one side or would it be best to change both

[Simon13]

the arms fit yes

[Jesus325iTouring]

Simon,please excuse my ignorance,but what are lollipops ? I've changed most of them parts at one time or another and can't recall any fruit flavoured ice based parts!

Oh bejesus,they just LOOK like lollipops and link the chassis leg to the front suspension.(thats the bit that goes up and down when you bounce around on Sailsbury plain..)

[Jesus325iTouring]

Thanks for that laddies

Feel a twat now

BTW I drove around for 6 months with the bush missing out of one of them,was a bit bangy under braking,as mentioned,probably fell out over The Plains!

[Jesus325iTouring]

Oh and IIRC it's actually called a Front Rear Wishbone Bush
