Product Information

Mounted in the front thrust arm or traction strut

This is a replacement set of traction strut bushings/upper control arm bushings. This is a common wear item in the front of most E39's. The rubber dry rots over time and causes play at the attachment point on the subframe. Replacing this component will restore handling and feel to your E39.

This Meyle HD set is an upgrade over the stock hydro bushing and is solid rubber. These pieces are significantly stronger and more durable over the stock bushing and can be used as either a replacement part or upgrade part. Comes backed with a 4 year manufacturer warranty.

Suspension Control Arm Bushing Kit

Control arms are links that help connect and stabilize the vehicle's suspension to the subframe of the vehicle. Many vehicle’s, while varying in suspension layout, will have control arms with serviceable bushings and/or joints on either end where they meet the undercarriage or spindle of the vehicle.

Suspension Control Arm Bushing Kit Failure Symptoms

As the rubber on these bushings degrades or cracks they will no longer provide a rigid connection and cause problems in handle and ride quality. Often times to save time and cost it is possible to press out the original worn bushing and press in a replacement instead of replacing the complete control arm. Common failure symptoms of faulty control arms bushings include:

  • Uneven tire wear and inability to align vehicle
  • Poor handling characteristics
  • Loud clunking, metal on metal sounds, suspension buckling
  • Vibration or wobble in the steering wheel
  • Banging sound over bumps

About Meyle HD

Meyle High Durability

MEYLE HD products are technically superior to the OE part, whilst the reinforced and optimized design and high-quality materials make them more durable and reliable. As a result, they simply last longer and often outperform OEM parts.

The MEYLE HD brand is a subsidiary of Wulf Gaertner, a firm established in 1958 that at the time just exported and traded original equipment spare parts on a small scale. Today Meyle offers over 17,000 top-grade automotive spare parts including the "MEYLE HD" line, not to be mistaken for the "Meyle" line. While Meyle is a quality aftermarket parts option, Meyle HD goes further than the original OEM part by determining the root cause of failure and improving the design to make it more durable. Whether they increase the size of a ball joint, re-design its socket, or add in high performance synthetic grease, you can be sure that Meyle has done their due diligence to improve the replacement components for your European Vehicle.

If you don't want to be doing this job again in 60K miles then use these
Stay away from the oil-filled bushings. This is the only way to go and should have been installed from the factory!!

This is a great deal on high quality bushings that will outlast stock by several tens of thousands of miles. They are a bit stiffer than stock, but the ride is still quite enjoyable. I highly recommend these.

Meyle has yet to disappoint. These are no exception. Fit is perfect and look to be made of the same exact materials. Good stuff.

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by a customer
Is this kit consisting of 2 bushings as shown in the photo or just one bushing?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This includes two bushings as pictured.
Question Posted by a customer
Witch way should they be mounted? Is the solid part of the rubber supposed to be facing upwards/downwards?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
There is an arrow on the bushing which corresponds with a marking on the control arm bushing. These must be lined up and cannot be off by more than 3 degrees. Equal protrusion of the bushing sleeve is also required after the bushing is pressed in.
