TRW BMW Control Arm Replacements & Upgrades for BMW 3 Series E93 (2007-2013)

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 driving experience with our premium suspension upgrade for your BMW. Over time, the road can take a toll on your suspension, leading to a sloppy and weak feel while driving. Our solution? Replace the control arm – a critical component that, after years of service, may wear out. Boost safety and ride comfort with this easy upgrade.

Improved driving experience
Enhanced safety
Better ride comfort
Extended service life of replacement parts

If you're considering replacing any part of your front or rear suspension, opt for doing it in pairs (both left and right sides). This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the replacement parts. In the BMW world, it's often referred to as a wishbone.

For non-M3 models, this isn't just a replacement – it's a performance upgrade. These heavy-duty components are recommended to be replaced in pairs to maximize their efficiency and provide a seamless driving experience.

This left/driver's front upper control arm - also know as a tension strut or thrust arm. This is the control arm with the outer ball joint pointing down. This is the OE BMW replacement (made by TRW) and fits E82 1M Coupe and E90/E92/E93 M3. This control arm includes the inner pressed in bushing and outer ball joint. A direct replacement from the original manufacturer.

This part can also be used as an upgrade on non-M E82, E9X, and E89 Z4 models. The inner bushing on the M3 arm is a solid rubber instead of the fluid-filled non-M design. This solid rubber part will last longer and be more responsive thanks to less deflection in the bushing. The M3 arm is a direct replacement for the stock non-M part.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2006-2011 E90 BMW 325i 328i 330i 335d 335i M3 - Sedan
2006-2012 E91 BMW 325xi 328i - Wagon

The M3 control arm upgrade is for people who want a very serious change in the ride/handling of the car. These are the factory OEM E9X M3 upper control arms, so the ride will not be much different than a standard M3. But it is a very large jump compared to the stock E9X arms and bushings, since they are not fluid-filled and have a harder rubber compound than the stock or Meyle HD bushings. These are direct replacements for the original arms, do not require any modification to install, and will add about .75 degrees of negative camber to the front for improved handling and tire wear

These M3 rear guide rod arms are an upgrade for the non-M cars. The stock non-M arms are made from sheetmetal spot welded together at the ends. The arm tends to flex and bend under even moderate cornering loads. Factor in gripper tires and more torque and this arm is inadequate for stability and consistent handling. The M3 arms are one piece of aluminum offering greater strength and with a sealed monoball inner bushing that allows the arm to rotate (instead of twisting).

Over the years, the road takes a serious toll on your suspension. Potholes, speed bumps, and road hazards all contribute to a sloppy, weak suspension. To give a better feel to your driving experience and improve safety and ride comfort, replace suspension components as they wear. After years of service, non-serviceable ball joints and other components begin to wear out. Because some components cannot be replaced, the only solution is the replacement of the entire arm. This OEM TRW kit includes all four front control arms for the E9X M3 / E82 1M. Replacing all four at once will provide the most service life out of replacement parts and ensure they are all performing properly. This kit is intended for installation on Halogen headlight-equipped models, as a headlight level sensor rod is not included.
