On several BMWs, front control arms are a weak point. Turner Motorsport stocks a variety of replacement front control arms for your BMW. We recommend looking into the OE options we offer to save you money on your maintenance so you have more left over for performance parts!
This upper front control arm (also known as a thrust arm or tension strut) is a direct replacement for the original part and is the OEM Lemforder 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.
The E38 upper control arms include both the inner and outer bushing.
