Description
Also called a wishbone, the front control arm incorporates both a bushing and ball joint, two components that will wear out after many miles of use. This wear can contribute to loose and weak suspension as well as sloppy steering feel.
This high-quality OE replacement arm from Delphi includes the bushing and the ball joint, as well as the locking nut that fastens the ball joint to the spindle. Delphi is one of the largest names in the OE replacement part industry and has a reputation for making components that will last for years to come.
This front control arm is found on the E9X M3 and is a performance upgrade for non-M models. It features a stiffer bushing for better feedback and stability. It also provides a negative camber increase for added front grip. Due to this increase, the control arms should be replaced in pairs if they are being fitted to a non-M vehicle.
How do I know if my front control arm is worn out and needs replacing?
- A clunking noise is experienced when driving over bumps, road hazards, or potholes.
- There is noticeable play in the steering column
- The ball joint or bushing boot appears cracked
- The vehicle's steering wheel shifts to the left or right under heavy braking
