BMW Control Arm Replacements & Upgrades for BMW 6 Series F12 (2012+)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

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.

For BMW F10, F06, F12, and F13 xDrive owners seeking to maximize their vehicle's performance and handling, the Powerflex Front Lower Control Arm Inner Bushings are an essential upgrade. In this article, we'll explore the numerous benefits of integrating these bushings into your BMW xDrive, designed to elevate your driving experience and enhance control and road-handling capabilities. Enhanced Stability and Handling: BMW F10, F06, F12, and F13 xDrive models are already renowned for their impressive handling, and the Powerflex Front Lower Control Arm Inner Bushings take this to the next level. These bushings minimize sway and body roll during cornering, ensuring your vehicle remains stable and responsive, even when navigating sharp turns and curves. The result is a more confident and enjoyable driving experience. Superior Cornering Performance: One of the key advantages of these control arm inner bushings is their ability to optimize cornering performance. The Powerflex design offers increased rigidity, allowing for more precise and controlled cornering. Whether you're tackling winding mountain roads or pushing your BMW on a racetrack, you'll appreciate the improved grip and control these bushings deliver. Understeer Mitigation: Understeer is a common challenge for many vehicles, occurring when the front tires lose grip during a turn. Upgrading to Powerflex BMW F10/F06/F12/F13 xDrive Front Lower Control Arm Inner Bushings helps address this issue by redistributing the load more evenly between the front and rear tires. This results in better balance and control, ensuring your xDrive responds precisely to your commands in any situation. Longevity and Durability: Constructed with high-quality materials, these control arm inner bushings are designed to withstand the demands of daily driving and spirited performance. They reduce wear and tear on your suspension components, extending the lifespan of your BMW's control arm system and related parts. OE / OEM Cross Reference Numbers: 31126777743

The factory-installed rubber control arm bushings often result in a disconnected and imprecise sensation in the front suspension, particularly as they wear out, causing excessive deflection. This, in turn, leads to imprecise steering, vibrations, and subpar handling, resulting in a somewhat unstable driving experience. In contrast, these urethane bushings offer superior stiffness compared to the stock rubber ones, minimizing deflection. This contributes to maintaining consistent alignment and results in a more secure and confidence-boosting feel while driving. Furthermore, the added benefit of a lifetime warranty means you're unlikely to incur any future expenses for replacing these bushings. OE / OEM Cross Reference Numbers: 31122284976
