Product Information

4 piece control arm kit featuring Meyle HD tension struts and standard Meyle lower control arms

This is a front suspension refresh kit for all 8 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 with standard Meyle lower control arms.

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

Great replacements!
Great replacements, fixed a clunking that occurred when turning at any speed, and an awful disconnected feeling accompanied by a rattling/racket noise. One of the best features of these units in my opinion is the HEX head in the ball joint stud to hold it while torquing... If that strips out, no problem! They engineered a second Torx/Ribe bit inside of that hex in case it strips out! Overall, well engineered replacements. If not OEM Lemforder, buy these.

Great Product!
This helped me gain more confidence while handling and reduced noise while driving. The different bushings vs the Lemforder Boge bushings help to create a stiffer ride while not sacrificing the comfort and quiet. I enjoyed them a lot and having a convenient Kit really helped with getting it all done at once!
