Description
The front control arms incorporate 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.
These high-quality OE replacement arms from Delphi include a bushing and ball joint, as well as locking nuts that fasten the ball joints to the spindles. 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.
These front control arms are found on the E9X M3 and are a performance upgrade for non-M models. They feature stiffer bushings 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. This kit provides both front control arms for easy ordering and replacement. If your E9X has tired front suspension, consider it a great opportunity to upgrade to these front control arms.
How do I know if my front control arms are worn out and need 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
