Product Information

Referred to as a tension strut by BMW, includes inner bushing

This control arm is a common wear item on higher mileage BMW. It is responsible with "locating" the front suspension and is an important component. The inner bushing is known to fail first resulting in vibrations at about 55MPH. The inner bushing can be replaced but in most cases if the inner bushing fails the outer ball joint has failed which will require replacement of the entire control arm.

Always replace control arms in matched pairs for best performance and service life.

Suspension Control Arm

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 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
