Lemforder
This control arm upgrade was used on the high-performance 330i ZHP Performance Package and offered by BMW as a sport retrofit. These arms are identical dimensions as the regular arms so they are a direct replacement. But they have all metal ball joints instead of plastic or rubber. This means they last a lot longer and are much stronger. We used these in our Grand Am and World Challenge E46 racecars with excellent performance.

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. 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.

We also recommend replacing the bushings when changing the control arms. The bushings are mounted at the back of the control arm and located the arm to the frame rail on the car. The stock bushings are rubber and will wear out sooner than the control arms themselves. With the control arm off the car now is the perfect time to also replace the bushings.

Lemforder is the original equipment supplier to BMW for these control arms.

Drastically improve the looks of your vehicle while improving your vehicle's handling characteristics and/or easily adjust your wheel fitment to allow for the proper clearance when installing parts such as new wheels, big brake kits, or lowering suspension components.Interference from components such as shocks, springs, or control arms are a common issue when installing wheel that are not a direct OE size replacement. By moving your wheels a few millimeters each, you can give yourself enough clearance for proper wheel fitment and give your car a wider stance in the process.

ECS Tuning wheel spacers are constructed of high quality 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum and are specifically designed by in-house engineers and cnc machined to exact standards, ensuring the best fitment possible. By carefully measuring the OEM wheel hubs and bore dimensions, these spacers mount with minimal clearance to prevent any vibration, retaining the stock-like vibration free operation. 

This kit includes wheel bolts that are lab tested to meet or exceed ISO 898 class 10.9 mechanical and physical properties to ensure perfect fastening of the wheel to the hub with no issues or potential to snap under aggressive driving conditions.

ECS Tuning is a performance and genuine parts provider that designs their ECS Tuning branded aftermarket automotive parts in-house to ensure the highest quality and affordability possible. Every part's design is subjected to a rigorous test fit and stress test period to guarantee proper fitment and continued reliability for years to come.

Sway bars transmit cornering forces from the outside wheels to the inside wheels, helping to keep the vehicle flat during cornering. This in turn reduces body roll and improves the driver's cornering confidence. OEM rubber sway bar bushings are designed with comfort in mind, allowing the sway bar to articulate while permitting additional movement, leading to less-than-ideal bar retention and causes unnecessary body roll.

Powerflex polyurethane sway bar bushings are firmer than factory rubber bushings, reducing body roll and keeping sway bars in check. Polyurethane bushings won't slop around like OEM bushings, allowing sway bars to function at their fullest potential.

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. 

The BMW E46 / E36 / Z4 / X3 Rear Trailing Arm Front Bushing by Powerflex is a precision-engineered suspension upgrade designed to improve the handling and durability of several popular BMW models. This bushing replaces the factory rubber bushing located at the front of the rear trailing arm with a high-performance polyurethane version.

Product Features:

1. Polyurethane Construction: Unlike standard rubber bushings, Powerflex bushings are made from durable polyurethane, a material known for its superior resistance to wear, heat, and degradation from oils and contaminants. This leads to a longer lifespan and more consistent performance over time.

2. Stiffness for Enhanced Control: The polyurethane bushings provide increased stiffness, reducing unwanted flex and movement in the rear trailing arms. This helps to maintain better control of the rear wheel alignment, resulting in more stable and predictable handling, especially during cornering, acceleration, and braking.

3. Reduced Deflection: By reducing the deflection of the rear trailing arms, these bushings help to improve traction and rear suspension geometry. This makes the car feel more planted and responsive, reducing wheel hop and improving grip under load.

4. Direct Replacement: The Powerflex bushings are designed as a direct replacement for the factory-installed rubber bushings, meaning they will fit perfectly into the existing suspension setup without requiring modifications. This makes installation straightforward while significantly enhancing the suspension’s performance.

5. Longevity & Resistance: Polyurethane bushings are highly resistant to common automotive contaminants such as road debris, oil, water, and heat. This makes them a more reliable choice for drivers looking for a long-term solution to suspension wear and tear.

Compatible Models:

• BMW E46 (3 Series, 1999-2006)
• BMW E36 (3 Series, 1991-1999)
• BMW Z4 (E85/E86, 2003-2008)
• BMW X3 (E83, 2003-2010)

Advantages:

• Improved Rear-End Stability: Provides more precise alignment and control of the rear suspension, resulting in sharper handling.
• Durable & Long-Lasting: Outperforms rubber bushings in terms of longevity and wear resistance.
• Enhanced Ride Quality: Reduces unwanted suspension movement, improving driving dynamics and cornering performance.
• Easy Fitment: A direct replacement for stock bushings, with no special modifications required.

For drivers seeking a more connected and performance-focused feel from their BMW, the Powerflex Rear Trailing Arm Front Bushing is a significant upgrade over stock rubber bushings, delivering improved handling, reduced wear, and enhanced driving enjoyment.

The cooling system is a weak point on any E46. Many cars develop issues in as few as 50,000 miles.

Overheating an inline 6 engine almost always results in large repair bill, and sometimes a warped cylinder head.

Replace yours with a high-quality OEM Nissens radiator to prevent further issues and potential overheating.
