Product Information

Basic rear suspension service kit designed to replace worn upper rear control arms on E39 models, fits vehicles from 12/2001

This control arm kit is a basic rear suspension service kit that replaces the upper rear control arms on your E39 5-series. These components play a huge roll in the rear suspension in terms of alignment and maintaining proper suspension geometry. This kit has been designed around all OE Lemforder components. These are the same parts that were installed on your BMW at the factory at a heavily discounted price.

Worn rear 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 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

Great kit
I bought this kit, the rear ball joint kit, and the four piece control arm kit for the front. It was installed yesterday on a 2003 E39 with 90,000 miles. Most of the old rear ball joints on the rear control arms had broken boots and were leaking. After rebuilding the suspension and aligning the car, the suspension vibration is gone and it performs like a new car on the road. FCP Euro has put together some very nice suspension kits. Thank you.
