Product Information

Comprehensive front and rear control arm service kit designed to replace all the control arms on E39 models, fits vehicles from 12/2001

This comprehensive control arm kit is a comprehensive repair solution for your aging E39. While we offer control arm kits for the front and rear application we also recognize that many enthusiasts simply want an all encompassing repair solution with one simple click of the mouse button. You're looking at it right here. This 20 piece control arm kit will completely replace the front and rear suspension. This kit features a collection of Lemforder control arms, ball joints, and steering components. These are the same pieces used by BMW during the construction of your E39.

Worn control arms can cause a variety of issues including excessive bum steer and inner tire wear. We recommend replacing all of your components if you have in excess of 80K miles and still have original components. We also encourage that you replace your control arm components if you are experiencing the following symptoms:

  • Popping, clunking, or clicking sounds while traveling over bumps or dips in the road
  • A disconnected feeling between the steering wheel and front end of the car
  • Vehicle is slow to respond to steering inputs
  • Vehicle wanders on the highway or will not drive straight
  • Vehicle cannot be aligned properly due to play in the front and rear suspension
Suspension Control Arm Kit

Control arms are crucial link in a vehicle's suspension connecting the suspension to a vehicle's subframe. These pieces are usually hinged to allow for suspension to travel and articulate as the vehicle rides over obstructions in the road and while the vehicle turns. Many vehicles such as those with independent suspensions have multiple links and feature several connection points and arms to offer better ride quality and comfort.

As bushings and joints in a control arm begin to wear you may notice a looseness feel in your suspension. And while many arms have replaceable and serviceable individual components, many still require the replacement of the entire arm. Below are signs of when a replacement control arm may be needed.

Suspension Control Arm Kit Failure Symptoms
  • Play in suspension joints where these arms meet the subframe and/or knuckle
  • Buckling noise emanating from the suspension
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Inability to properly align vehicle
  • Shutter or vibration coming from the steering wheel at highway speed
  • Wandering or pulling sensation from side to side felt on the steering wheel

20pc kit
The order was exactly as expected. Everything is top quality and is well worth every penny. The only thing I’d suggest would be to add every bolt or nut that you will be working with. Some did not look reusable (depending on the condition of your car. Otherwise this Kit was perfect. Thanks FCP.

Lemforder e39 M5 refresh kit
So purchased this kit for my 02 M5 has 114k miles on it. The suspension was feeling a bit soft and worn out. Also getting a little bit of wheel shake classic front control arms issue. Any way ordered a kit from ECS and was very disappointed with the quality of the parts, then saw this complete kit. Ordered it up could not be happier with the quality of the parts. All very quality and no fitment issues what so ever. Everything looks just like the OEM parts that were there before. Won't lie this job took me a while though more work than I thought it was going to be. The rear took me the longest due to all the stuff that had to be taken apart to get to the struts in the back as well as dropping the subframe down. You do not have to drop the subframe but I did make it way easier to get to all the various suspension parts off and replaced. The one thing I will say that I was disappointed about was the nuts included do not have the integrated spinning washer like the original hardware. So I reused the original nuts which when you tighten them up the nut slides on the shoulder washer not maring the surface it's against. I can hear people yelling at me through their monitor now. But I am sure it will be just fine. The nuts looked great! If you are on the fence just pull the trigger do it. The car has 114k miles on it and drives like it was brand new night and day difference. I wish I had done it 20k miles ago. This was a 16-hour job for me using a lift and air tools. Just to give an idea of how much time to budget for this. I am sure a pro mechanic could knock it out in half the time. But there is a lot of stuff to take off and put back to get this all done.

Question Posted by Jesus
Will this fit the 1999 e39 Touring wagon?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No. You need p/n KIT-540E3920PIECE-L for a 1999 430i Wagon.
Question Posted by Gregory
Hey there. What were the thoughts behind going for Meyle with tie rods, instead of the OE Lemforder?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Lemforder tie rod ends were backordered for an extended period of time at one point making the entire kit unavailable to order. Meyle tie rod ends were switched in due to better overall availability.
