BMW Control Arm Replacements & Upgrades for BMW F86 X6 M S63 4.4L

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.

The Powerflex Front Lower Control Arm Bushings for the BMW F85 X5 M and F86 X6 M are engineered to enhance the performance and dynamics of the front suspension. By replacing the factory rubber bushings with high-quality polyurethane, these bushings offer significant improvements in handling, stability, and durability.

Improved Handling Dynamics: The stiffer polyurethane material minimizes flex in the control arm, which enhances steering response and cornering stability. This upgrade allows for more precise handling, helping drivers navigate turns with greater confidence and control.
Exceptional Durability: Powerflex bushings are designed to withstand harsh driving conditions and resist wear from heat, oil, and road debris. Unlike traditional rubber bushings, which can deteriorate over time, these polyurethane bushings maintain their integrity and performance over a longer lifespan.
Enhanced Road Feedback: The firmer bushings provide better feedback to the driver, improving the overall driving experience. This enhanced connection between the vehicle and the road translates to increased confidence during spirited driving or challenging road conditions.
Easy Installation: Designed specifically for the F85 X5 M and F86 X6 M models, these bushings are a direct fit for the existing control arm mounts. This ensures a straightforward installation process without the need for modifications, making it a suitable upgrade for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
Versatile Performance: Whether used for everyday driving or high-performance applications, these bushings optimize the front suspension geometry, improving tire contact with the road and enhancing overall vehicle handling.

Over time, everyday road conditions like potholes, speed bumps, and other hazards can significantly impact your suspension, leading to a loose and weakened ride quality. To enhance your driving experience, replace worn components as needed to ensure optimal safety and comfort. One key component to address is the control arm. After years of use, its non-serviceable ball joints and other parts can wear out. Since these components cannot be replaced individually, the only solution is to replace the entire control arm assembly.
