These are the stock replacement front control arm bushings (FCAB) for the E82 1M and E9X M3 models. These solid rubber bushings replace the inner bushing on the front upper control arm, also known as the thrust arm or tension stut (it's the arm with the outer ball joint pointing down). These are the OEM bushings with a metal sleeve insert for precise but comfortable steering feel and response. A direct replacement for the E90/E92/E93 M3 and E82 1M. Professional installation recommended since these bushings need to be 'compressed' while they are being pressed in.

This can also be used as an upgrade on non-M E82, E9X, and E89 Z4 models. The solid rubber of the M3 is a better and longer-lasting bushing than the fluid-filled stock E90 bushing. These M3 bushings are a bit stiffer than the original design so the steering and handling will be sharper while maintaining M3-levels of ride comfort.

Sold per bushing (order 2 for both sides).

2008-2012 E82 BMW 1M

Fall Line’s mono ball spherical bearing conversion kit transforms the front steering and suspension feel of the M3. The factory rubber bushing is very large, and is prone to substantial deflection under load, as the M3 is put through its paces. Deflection of the bushing can create unwanted geometry change, steering wobble under braking, and even hysteresis of the thrust arm. The bearing’s housing is precision machine from aluminum, to create a rigid part that allows for the M3’s thrust arm to move smoothly through its range of suspension travel. The improvement in steering and suspension feel is immediate and truly enhances the personality of the M3. *V2 improved design also incorporates hard coat clear anodized finish*
