Product Information

8 piece control arm kit featuring Meyle HD tension struts, Meyle lower control arms, Meyle tie rod assemblies, and Meyle HD sway bar links

This is a front suspension refresh kit for all 6 cylinder E39 models. The E39 chassis is notorious for breaking thrust arm bushings which come from the factory as a hydro filled bushing. This kit is comprised of Meyle HD tension struts which feature solid rubber bushings and all steel outer ball joints, Meyle lower control arms, Meyle HD sway bar links, and Meyle tie rod assembly's.

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 front 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

Meyle control arm kit
2000 528i Touring 5 speed, Sport suspension: This kit provides solid steering feel, and like-new suspension operation. No complaints whatsoever. I installed it myself at home - I do have a lift, so access is easy. The job is quite straightforward. With an alignment afterwards, the car's handling is back up to BMW standards. Glad I bought Meyle. Said to be more durable than Lemforder, and I see no downside in ride quality or steering feel. PS: Pirelli P7 AS 3+ is the best tire I've ever had on a passenger car. On this wagon they are nothing short of fantastic.

This is the kit for you
I got these after seeing the other review about Meyle over Lemforder... I totally agree. I did Lemforders for the rear control arm setup and Meyle for the front. I cannot tell a difference in performance between these two suppliers. Go with the Meyle: they are great. The only difference is - a marginal difference at that - these did not come with the "Do not tow/hook!" stickers on the control arms. Get those stickers on eBay for 5 bucks. Oh, do not forget to order steering rack boots! Yours are toast.. or are going to look super lame with all these new parts around them.

Don't let the brand fool you. I will choose Meyle over Lemforder from here on out. After reading extensive reviews I chose Meyle for my suspension overhaul, thus far (with 10K miles on components) the car rides like it's on rails. As always FCPEuro was quick with shipping, and great customer service as always!
