Enhance your BMW's performance with our premium control arm upgrade kit from Turner Motorsport! This kit provides a significant handling upgrade without sacrificing ride quality. Perfect for enthusiasts looking to replace their factory control arms with sturdier, high-performance alternatives, this kit features stiffer bushings and ball joints for improved precision.

Key Benefits:

Improved Handling: Experience more precise and responsive steering, giving your BMW a sportier feel. Increased Durability: Our control arms are much sturdier than factory units, ensuring long-lasting performance. Negative Camber Adjustment: Adds approximately 0.75 degrees of negative camber to the front, enhancing cornering grip and stability. Complete Kit: Includes all four M3-specific lower control arms with mounting hardware. M3 Headlight Leveling Rod: Necessary for proper installation, ensuring your headlights are correctly aligned. Important Note for Z4 Models: For Z4 owners, please be aware that the M3 headlight level sensor rod is positioned differently. A custom solution will be required to attach the sensor rod to the control arm. Currently, we do not offer a direct solution for this issue.

Upgrade your BMW's suspension with confidence! Enjoy a smoother, more controlled ride with our premium control arm upgrade kit!

Control arm bushings play a key role in connecting the wheels to the chassis of the vehicle. Tasked with keeping suspension geometry in check while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber bushings were engineered to provide a balance of comfort and control. As a factory bushing ages, it becomes brittle and begins to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play in the suspension joint. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk forward after the car comes to a stop and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushing with a full polyurethane unit or using a bushing insert, this play is eliminated since the suspension joint is being supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. Additionally, the inherent stiffness of the urethane material translates body forces much more directly. This means steering inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver. Powerflex Black Series bushings are the ultimate in track and race bushings. Featuring 95A durometer polyurethane, Black Series bushings are 25% stiffer than street bushings. Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings offer a supreme level of control, while still providing enough comfort for the street, with advanced polyurethane that reduces NVH that often accompanies lesser bushings. Expect improved steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings. Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers. This part fits the following BMWs: 2007- 2013 E88 1 Series Convertible 128i 135i 2008-2013 E9X BMW M3

These bushings replace the stock rubber bushings and offer a better driving feel, increased lifespan, and better wheel alignment.

Rubber bushing allow for a lot more movement and are more susceptible to wear and tear from spirited driving and harsh weather conditions. Polyurethane is much more resistant to wear and is stiffer, reducing the total amount of movement that would normally affect the alignment negatively.

Elevate your BMW's handling dynamics without sacrificing the refined ride quality you enjoy every day. This upgrade kit utilizes the front control arms originally engineered for the E90 M3 and E82 1M, providing a sophisticated enhancement to your suspension geometry and overall steering precision. While many aftermarket performance options rely on harsh polyurethane or noisy heim-joint bushings that trade comfort for track-focused rigidity, these M3 components offer the ideal middle ground for a spirited daily driver. Unlike the factory Non-M control arms that utilize fluid-filled bushings prone to cracking and leaking over time, these high-performance replacements feature solid rubber bushings. This design significantly reduces control arm deflection and sharpens front-end feedback, ensuring your vehicle feels more planted and responsive during cornering. Sidem has refined this setup even further by reinforcing key areas of the original factory design, resulting in a more durable and reliable component that stands up to the rigors of the road while maintaining a smooth, factory-plus feel.

If the control arm bushings on your vehicle are beginning to fail, it will become quickly apparent. Suspension noise will be drastically increased, there will be steering wheel shake when hitting road hazards, and the entire car will have an all around loose feel. This can also lead to premature tire failure as alignment is negatively affected. Replace your control arm bushings to give your entire suspension a tighter feel.

Your Mercedes-Benz suspension is a finely tuned system, and the lower control arms play a crucial role in its performance. Serving as the mounting point for the springs and shock absorbers, lower control arms connect these components to both the spindle and chassis, ensuring stability and smooth handling. Over time, constant stress and exposure to the elements can cause wear in the control arms and their bushings. The only solution is to replace them to maintain optimal suspension performance.
