BMW Control Arm Replacements & Upgrades

Improve your BMW's driving experience by addressing the wear and tear caused by years on the road. The suspension takes a beating from pot holes, speed bumps, and road hazards, leading to a weakened and sloppy feel. Enhance safety and ride comfort by replacing worn components, such as the control arm.

• Improved driving experience and ride comfort
• Enhanced safety through the replacement of worn suspension components
• Non-serviceable ball joints and other components addressed for prolonged lifespan
• Control arm replacement for a better feel and handling
• Recommended replacement in pairs for optimal performance
• Suitable for both front and rear suspension upgrades
• Referred to as a wishbone by BMW
• Performance upgrade for non-M3 models, recommended to replace in pairs due to heavy-duty nature

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.

Add negative camber to the front wheels of your BMW to increase the stock handling limitations and reduce the issues with outer tire wear during hard cornering. The increased camber adjustment allows for more responsive turn-ins and can slightly reduce the tire wear on the outer edge of the tire.

Benefits:

• Replaces front upper control arms with ones that increase negative camber up to -0.5 degrees
• Improves grip of front tires
• Evens out tire wear during aggressive cornering

Dinan's high-performance Rear Suspension Link Kit adds precision and predictability at the limit.

The stock rear toe link setup is built with rubber bushings and a curved forged alloy rod which can easily flex. During hard acceleration and braking, this flex allows the rear wheels to have excessive toe change which ultimately causes the car to be unstable. Dinan stops the flex by replacing the rubber bushings with Teflon-lined machined steel rod ends that significantly reduce pliability while also swapping out the OEM curved bar with a stouter billet aluminum arm, thus adding stability. Like the rear toe links, the stock front trailing links also incorporate rubber bushings. Flex in these bushings allows the rear wheels to behave sloppily under heavy loads. Dinan adds precision by replacing these links with billet aluminum arms and precision ball joints just like the ones found in the Dinan front monoball kit.

Have confidence in your F90 M5 when pushing the envelope without worry of erratic suspension play or sacrificing ride quality and comfort. Whether it be at the drag strip doing quarter mile runs or simply getting the jump off the line at a stop light the end result with Dinan's Rear Suspension Link Kit is a more stable and planted driving experience when pushing the car to its limits.

Benefits of the Dinan Rear Suspension Link Kit for the BMW F90 M5:

Replaces the stock rear toe link & rubber bushings with a precision machined black-anodized aluminum arm and racing-quality rod ends.
Rod-ends are Teflon-lined for quiet operation.
Rubber boots protect rod ends from environmental damage for long-lasting performance and removes the need for constant cleaning.
Replaces the stock forward lower trailing link & rubber bushings with a precision machined black-anodized aluminum arm and precision ball joints.
Bearings are nylon-lined for quiet operation.
Dramatically improves vehicle stability during hard cornering.
Improves response by eliminating the deflection of the rubber bushings.

For someone looking for superior performance and longevity these sealed monoball bushings are the best upper thrust bearing you can buy for an F22 2-series or F3X 3/4-series. The advantage of a monoball bearing is that it will not deflect under load. All of the rubber bushings move in all sorts of directions and that changes your alignment, especially when used with big brake kits or when driven hard. The condition worsens as the bushing wears out. The Dinan monoball sits in a CNC machined aluminum housing which has zero deflection. The monoball allows complete freedom of movement but only at the desired angles. What you get is superior steering precision, better handling from more consistent alignment, and almost infinite bushing life. And thanks to the inner liner and sealed rubber boots there's none of the extra noise or reduced service life of fully solid race bushings. 

We strongly advise using these with new control arms. BMW recommends that the bushings be replaced only once per set of control arms. So if your thrust arm bushings have been replaced already then we do not recommend re-using the arms. The other reason is that the aluminum arms stretch over time which will make the bushings loose inside the arm. Other manufacturers recommend filling the stretched arms with paste but replacing the control arm is the better solution.
