BMW Control Arm Replacements & Upgrades

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.

Nearly every car manufactured in the modern era carries a dark secret – fully-adjustable suspension has been all but eliminated in the name of cost-cutting and assembly-line efficiency. What this means for you is increased tire wear and more frequent replacement, as a “full alignment” consists only of rudimentary toe-angle adjustment. For over forty years, K-MAC has been hard at work developing a solution to this problem with patented innovations in camber/caster plates and bushing kits, allowing easy adjustment and a true “full four-wheel alignment” to be performed by any competent shop. These bushings make camber adjustments possible for the first time, and improve the ability to complete toe angle adjustments. When used in conjunction with the K-MAC Camber and Toe kit and Rear Adjustable Trailing Arms allows full adjustability of the 5 multi-link rear arms and positive location. Bolt-on installation – insertion/extraction tube included! Easily adjusted on the car with basic hand tools Unique failsafe locking hardware – set & forget! High quality elastomer compound resists binding Hardened & nickel-chrome plated centers for maximum bushing life 2x the load area of stock bushings Spiral grease grooves

ALTA Rear Control Arms are the ultimate upgrade for your MINI, replacing your rear lateral links with a solid and performance-focused design. These control arms enhance traction and handling while giving you precise control over camber and toe settings. The flexibility of ALTA control arms allows for fine-tuning without the hassle of removing and reinstalling the linkage. Simply adjust the lock nuts and twist the center section to achieve your desired settings.

These control arms are the perfect complement to other suspension products like springs, coilovers, or sway bars.

Key Features of ALTA Rear Control Arms:

  • CNC machined from 6061 aluminum rod for durability.
  • Heavy texture powder coating for corrosion resistance and added style.
  • Teflon-lined spherical rod ends for a solid connection and improved articulation.
  • Aircraft-quality spherical bearings for smooth and precise movement.
  • Injected Nylon around the ball center for quiet operation as the part ages.

For a comprehensive rear end upgrade, consider purchasing two sets of control arms to replace both upper and lower control arms. This minimizes deflection from the OEM rubber bushings and reduces weight. Please note that on models with Xenon-style headlamps, some modifications to the leveling sensor mounting may be necessary. For additional details, consult your ALTA dealer or our Tech Department.

ALTA Rear Control Arms come with high-quality hardware, including corrosion-resistant spacers and Grade 8 adjustment nuts.

There's finally an option to buy housings separate from the bushings, this way you don't have to live with the stress placed on the stock housings when pressing the old bushing out. The biggest benefit come in when there isn't already a pre-pressed in option for poly and spherical upgrades, this leaves the only option of pressing the old bushings out. Through out in-house testing when designing our poly and spherical upgrades we noticed that pressing the bushing out caused stress in some cases creating hairline cracks in the housing leaving it vulnerable to failure.

This item fits the following BMWs: 
2001-2006 E46 BMW M3

This is the replacement rear upper control arm inner bushing. (sold individually) Bushings tend 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.

These BMW Motorsport Group N Bushings replace all of the bushings on the factory toe control arm (also known as the track strut). These inner and outer bushings feature a heavy duty rubber that is stiffer than stock. The stiffer bushing reduces deflection and twist in the arm, leading to more stable handling and faster response in the suspension. These bushings are great for track use and legal for some racing classes yet can also be used on a street driven car where extra ride harshness can be tolerated.

Sold as a set of 4 - two bushings for each toe arm.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2008-2012 E82 BMW 128i 135i

Rubber has no place on a race car (except for tires, of course). Rubber suspension bushings are one of the first things to get swapped out for our race cars. The more solid the better when it comes to controlling the alignment and keeping your race setup consistent. We use as much solid material as the rules allow. With no deflection, solid bushings also give amazing feedback to the driver. For the M235iR, BMW had two specs for the rear control arms - stock stamped steel control arms with a rubber/neoprene bushing that is slightly stiffer than stock (2014-2015 spec) and these aluminum/stainless steel control arms with solid Heim-jointed ends (2016 spec). An additional benefit to the Heim joints is the arms are adjustable so the alignment can be perfectly dialed in. The front control arms use M3/M4 thrust arms and wishbones with sealed monoball joints. Full solid mounts and bushings will give you many setup options with razor sharp steering and chassis response. Note: 2016-spec rear control arms do not have a spring perch like the factory arms. These are for rear coil over shocks only.

Designed and built in-house at BMW Motorsport, these are stock rear camber arms from the E36 M3 that have been strengthened by welding a reinforment in between the wishbones. Stiffer than the stock units and still adjustable for camber. This arm is legal in many racing classes where an aftermarket arm is not permitted. Sold individually, two required per car.

For maximum adjustment solid aluminum camber arms, you may also want to check out our TMS E36/E46 Adjustable Rear Camber Arms .

This arm does not include a bushing, but you may choose add a bushing using the drop down below. For an additional charge, you can get the bushing pre-pressed into the arm, so it is ready to install on the car (no added shop time or hydraulic press required).

Also known as a thrust arm or tension strut, this front lower control arm features a fluid-filled bushing that dampens vibrations, giving your BMW smooth handling. If this bushing has split or cracked and leaked, a replacement control arm is your best option. This replacement control arm includes a new bushing and ball joint, ensuring your BMW's handling is restored to factory handling and feel.
