BMW Control Arm Replacements & Upgrades for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

Clear BMW chassis

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. They do more than just keep the alignment in a constant spec - they are a vital locating component for the suspension itself. 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.

Most control arms for BMWs consist of an inner and outer ball joint made of plastic, rubber, Delrin, or metal and covered in grease with a rubber boot to seal it from the outside. The ball joint rotates and spins as the control arm goes through its movements and that will wear the ball joint and make it loose. The grease inside the housing can also get used up, evaporate, or become contaminated from moisture and foreign particles. As the ball joint becomes worn it can result in excess movement within the housing. Your steering and handling will become less precise and there is usually a light clunking or clicking sound. In rare and extreme cases the ball joint can separate from the control arm completely, leading to a total loss of suspension and steering control. You should have the ball joint play checked annually and replace them every 3-4 years. Most track organizations will not allow a car if they are older than three years.

Control arms also take abuse from impacts and handling forces. Aluminum control arms will generally bend and prevent an accurate alignment. Steel control arms will crack and fracture and require close inspection annually and replacement every 3-4 years.

We sell OE BMW, OEM, and performance upgrade control arms from proven manufacturers. The control arm is so important to a BMW suspension that we insist on only top quality brands and designs and will never sell a control arm based on price alone. We also have upgrade packages with superior designs and better bushing options and we have bundled these together with valuable package savings.

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.

Featuring quality aftermarket M3 control arms plus Performance Rear Trailing arms Wanting more out of your BMW without having horrid ride quality? This is not only an extremely common handling upgrade, but one of the best upgrades you can do. These control arms are much sturdier than your factory units and feature much stiffer bushings and ball joints. Not only does this kit give you an extremely effective upgrade, it's the perfect excuse to get rid of your factory arms that are at the edge of being road worthy. Not sure about ECS Tuning's Upgraded Trailing arm? Let us explain... Factory steel rear trailing arms flex, causing undesired suspension geometry changes under load. BMW engineered a failure point into this stock arm - metal fatigue combined with shock forces from a pothole or curb, have been shown in some cases to cause the arm to buckle, turning a pleasant drive into a visit by roadside assistance. ECS Tuning's Performance Rear Trailing Arm Set is an upgrade that has been engineered to address these issues, while also being lighter and more attractive than the factory steel component. Elimination of a factory-designed failure point and an all-around stiffer design mean greater peace of mind as well as more confident handling with no unintended geometry changes. Combined with new M3/1M front and rear control arms for the ideal suspension set-up for your car. Kit Features: quality aftermarket M3/1M Front Control Arms quality aftermarket M3/1M Rear Control Arms ECS Upgraded Rear Trailing Arm BMW Headlight Leveling Sensor Rod BMW Rear ABS Bracket quality aftermarket Rear Guide Rods Trailing Arm features: Constructed from solid 6061-T6 aluminum Anodized for corrosion resistance Increased strength versus the factory steel arm - this arm fears no pot holes 25% lighter (384 grams versus 517 grams each)

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.
