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.

Control arm bushings play a key role in connecting the wheels to the chassis of the vehicle. Tasked with keeping suspension geometry in check while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber bushings were engineered to provide a balance of comfort and control. As a factory bushing ages, it becomes brittle and begins to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play in the suspension joint. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk forward after the car comes to a stop and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushing with a full polyurethane unit or using a bushing insert, this play is eliminated since the suspension joint is being supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. Additionally, the inherent stiffness of the urethane material translates body forces much more directly. This means steering inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver.

Powerflex street bushings are ideal for street driven vehicles and those that see occasional autocross or track time. Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings offer a supreme level of control, while still providing enough comfort for the street, with advanced polyurethane that reduces NVH that often accompanies lesser bushings. Expect improved steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings.

Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers.

This part fits the following BMWs:

All 1999-2006 E46
All 2002-2008 E85 Z4

Maintaining optimal vehicle alignment is crucial, especially when dealing with challenging road or track conditions. To prevent excess tire wear and ensure precise vehicle handling, turn to the Godspeed Project Rear Toe Arms.

These rear toe arms offer stability at high speeds, thanks to their precise alignment capabilities. Unlike traditional rubber bushings that wear quickly, these arms feature solid spherical bushings for exceptional durability. Their heat-treated ball and hard chrome-plated alloy steel composition guarantee strength and longevity.

Not only do these rear toe arms provide cost-effective performance improvements, but they also offer extended adjustment ranges and versatility. Their solid design enhances road feel, giving you more control and confidence in your BMW's performance.

Please note that realignment is recommended after installation, and these rear toe arms are intended for "Track Use Only" due to the increased road noise and vibration caused by solid bushings.

The adjustable rear control arm provides on-car rear camber adjustment, from +1 to -3,  in order to get the perfect stance and alignment you are looking for. This control arm includes polyurethane bushings that are great for both the track and street use with taking away from comfort and bushing lifespan like many spherical joints.
