Is your E39 5-series not feeling as precise as it used to? Do you notice the car wandering more or a loose feeling when cornering? If your E39 has not had the rear suspension overhauled within the last 60,000 miles, your bushings and ball joints are most likely worn. The rubber bushings are the key to the E39's acclaimed ride and handling. When new, the bushings provide a comfortable ride but also contribute to the precise and taut handling. But when the rubber is worn, the motions of the suspension are no longer kept in check, which can lead to the tires running in various angles and directions.

We have put together this package of rear control arms, links, wishbones, guide rods, and ball joints for the E39 525i, 528i, 530i and 540i. These are the common wear points on the E39's rear suspension. We only used the correct OEM Lemforder or approved Meyle parts for this kit - nothing that doesn't meet our standards for fitment, performance, quality, and customer satisfaction. And no part substitutes - these are the parts that BMW calls for in your rear suspension.

Included in kit -
33326767748 - lower outer ball joints (with new snap rings) - OEM Lemforder
33326770749 - integral links - OEM Lemforder
33326777424 - guide rods with bushings and ball joints - Meyle
33326767831, 33326767832 - wishbones with bushings and ball joints - OEM Lemforder
Optional - rear swaybar links (because this is an excellent time to replace these too)

Professional installation recommended and a wheel alignment is required. These new parts will do wonders in restoring your E39's handling! You'll wonder why you didn't do this sooner.

This rear guide rod for the E39 chassis helps to control the toe alignment of the car (the horizontal in/out angle of the tire). There is a rubber bushing on the inside and a ball joint on the outside mounting point. When the bushings on the arm wear out they can contribute to a 'wandering' or 'loose' or unstable feeling in the rear. There may also be a clunking noise associated with bumps. This arm is just one part of the rear suspension, and other parts should be checked to confirm which one is causing the issues. For a complete overhaul of the rear suspension, check out our rear control arm package here .
