Product Information

Referred to as a tension strut, per BMW it is mandatory to replace in matched pairs

Your BMW's tension strut is designed to locate the entire front strut assembly. It is under constant tension from suspension movements as well as road forces. Over time the inner bushing is known to fail allowing for this assembly to move freely resulting in poor handling, vibration, and noises.

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

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by Kevin
Are the bolt (bushing side) and nuts (bushing and knuckle side) single-use items, and if so, are they included with the control arm? If they’re not included, what are the correct part numbers for the associated single-use hardware? (E90 328xi)
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No, this doesn't include any hardware. The mounting bolt and nut at the subframe are p/n 33326760668 and p/n 31106797237. The ball joint nut is p/n 31106768936.
Question Posted by Jameson
Does this part come with the ball joint in it already or is that purchased separately? I didn't see the part listed separately in the category but the image doesn't look there ball joint is attached.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
On E9X xDrive models the ball joint is separate from the control arm. In more detail, the ball joint is secured to the steering knuckle and the ball joint stud goes through the end of this control arm. The ball joint is not included with this control arm and will need to be ordered separately if it's in need of replacement. Please see p/n 31126768988 for the ball joint.
