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.
