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.

FCP recommend replacing this control arm in matched pairs per BMW TIS recommendations.

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

Good, not great for F10
At 100k miles on my 2011 535iX Msport, it had a thug when braking hard. Replaced the tension struts with Lemforder and the thud went away. However, the bushings in the Lemforder tension struts seem soft, softer than when using the worn-out original intention struts. Not sure if I would buy these again and am now questioning if I want to use Lemforder or original BMW for the other control arms in the F10.

Fits great. Works perfectly. This fixed the clunking noise, looses in steering. Only difficulty part is remove the axle bolt.

Percentage in price compared to BMW is also the percentage in quality
I bought this and the matching other side for my 100k miles 2011 535ix Msport. I could feel my original tension struts were bad when braking there was a thud. I installed these arms more than 6 months ago. While they look of good quality, the rubber bushing is softer than original BMW. I have been seeing Lemforder rubber quality diminished through the recent years and this is a clear example of that. I am not sure I would buy these again. For the lower control arms that link to the front struts, I am going with BMW.
