Control arm bushing brackets do not typically wear or fatigue. But we sell replacement brackets as a convenience to go with new bushings (press one bushing instead of pressing out the old). For racers it's a great idea to keep a spare set of bushings with brackets on hand since pressing bushings at a racetrack is not ideal. Keep a spare set to avoid hassle and downtime.

Anytime that you replace your front control arms you must replace your control arm bushings. The reason is because it's hard to tell if you're bushings are really bad and they are often destroyed when removed. These are the control arm bushings from the 1996-1999 E36 M3 and have the hole in the center.

These are the stock bushings bushings from the 1996-99 E36 M3 and MZ3 but are a great upgrade for any E30 - 318/325, E36 - 325/323/328, and Z3 -1.9, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8, 3.0. They have more rubber than the non-M stock bushings. We have found the increased volume of rubber helps the bushings last longer and have better steering response due to less deflection of the bushing. These bushings can actually help reduce vibrations produced by the mass of larger wheels or brakes.

For convenience, we carry the steel bushing carrier brackets (part# TSU9995PB3) with new hardware which will save you downtime caused by pressing out the old bushings and pressing in the new bushings.

This E30 325iX front control arm is a direct replacement for the original part and is the OE BMW brand.

Control arms, and their integrated ball joints, are some of the most crucial components on a BMW suspension. The control arms literally control the wheel and suspension as they go through their range of motions. A faulty or worn control arm or ball joint is a very dangerous and potentially life-threatening problem so make sure they are inspected and replaced at regular intervals. For a street-driven car we advise yearly inspection and a full replacement every 3-4 years. For track-driven cars these should be inspected before every event and replaced every two years.

We also recommend replacing the bushings when changing the control arms. The bushings are mounted at the back of the control arm and located the arm to the frame rail on the car. The stock bushings are rubber and will wear out sooner than the control arms themselves. With the control arm off the car now is the perfect time to also replace the bushings.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1987-1991 E30 BMW 325ix

When it comes to drifting, steering angle is the name of the game. Although the E30 and E36 steering angle from the factory isn't awful, it isn't optimal either. Luckily, some savvy BMW enthusiasts noticed similarities between the E46 and E36 front control arms and found a simple swap could yield significant steering angle increases! This method isn't new, but it can be challenging at times to source the exact product that you need. To make this swap more user friendly, we have developed our very own E46 Monoball Conversion Bearings and built this kit to include all common items required to do this job in one afternoon! NOTE (E30 Fitment): Installation of this kit removes the stock sway bar end link mounting locations in the control arm. We recommend running your BMW without a front sway bar or having your suspension professionally modified by a local shop to allow for sway bar mounting tabs to be welded to your front strut bodies. NOTE (E36 Fitment): Installation of this kit removes the stock sway bar end link mounting locations in the control arm. We recommend running your BMW without a front sway bar or swapping to M3 style front struts.

Anytime that you replace your front control arms (which should be often), you must replace your control arm bushings. The reason is because it's hard to tell if you're bushings are really bad and they are often destroyed when removed. These bushings have the hole off-center to give your car a little more track, caster, and camber. They are a solid rubber bushing that is great for the street. These came as standard equipment on E30 M3s (8/89-later) and 1995 E36 M3s.

For convenience, we carry the steel bushing carrier brackets (part# TSU9995PB3) with new hardware which will save you downtime caused by pressing out the old bushings and pressing in the new bushings.
