- Front Control Arm
Anytime that you replace your front control arms (which should be often), you must replace your control arm bushings. The reason is because it's hard to tell if you're bushings are really bad and they are often destroyed when removed.
Fits the following Vehicles:
1989 - 1995 E34 BMW 525i, 530i
This E46 325Xi/330Xi front control arm is a direct replacement for the original part and is the OEM Lemforder brand. The E46 Xi front control is a special design borrowed from the E34 525Xi (sold in Europe) but still similar to other E46 cars. Therefore, it still suffers the same ball joint issues as the other 3-series models.
Control arms, and the associated 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. 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. For a street-driven car we advise yearly inspection and a full replacement every 3-4 years. For track-driven cars these should be inspected before every event and replaced every two years.
On the Xi we also recommend replacing the inner ball joints and rear bushings when changing the control arms. The ball joints are designed to be replaced separately and the bushings are mounted at the back of the control arm. Both are high-wear parts and easily replaced with the control arm off the car.

These are the stock replacement front upper control arm bushings. It is also known as the thrust arm bushing or pull rod bushing. This is a set of 2 bushings (31126763719 x 2).
Bushings tends to wear over time and split or even break free from the internal sleeve, causing excessive movement and sloppy control feel. OEM Lemförder bushings are the perfect option to restore suspension back to day 1 quality.

This OEM Lemforder Level 1 suspension rebuild kit for the E39 addresses the symptoms related to the included components in the front suspension. Common failure items here result in imprecise, wandering steering, or more commonly: the dreaded "death wobble" at 55mph.
Including all four front control arms with bushings, this kit is ideal for a car with tight suspension but with loose ball joints.
