Product Information

Comprehensive front and rear control arm service kit designed to replace all the control arms on E39 models, fits vehicles up to 12/2001

This comprehensive control arm kit is a comprehensive repair solution for your aging E39. While we offer control arm kits for the front and rear application we also recognize that many enthusiasts simply want an all encompassing repair solution with one simple click of the mouse button. You're looking at it right here. This 20 piece control arm kit will completely replace the front and rear suspension. The experts in house have assembled this kit with OE Lemforder control arms, ball joints, and integral links. These are the same parts used by BMW to build and service your E39 at a fraction of the price.

Worn control arms can cause a variety of issues including excessive bum steer and inner tire wear. 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 the front and rear 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

Suspension kit
Great kit, I would prefer if sway bar bushings were included...seems like the only really overlooked part. End links are there, just no bushings.

Rides like new again
This kit is all you need to refresh your suspension. I also order the front strut assembly kit along with eibach sways. Man it's like a new car.

I installed this kit in my garage, and all components were excellent fit and quality. Having this as one complete kit helped with not accidentally missing any critical component. My E39 M5 drives like new!

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by Daniel
Do this kit require any special or specific BMW tools for either removal of old parts or installation of the replacement parts? If so, can you recommend the tools needed to make the job easier and quicker?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
There isn't anything particularly special needed aside from a scissor style ball joint tool for the front control arms. Everything else is removable with standard tools.
Question Posted by a customer
Will this kit fit right hand drive vehicles?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Most parts will with the exception of the the steering drag link which will not fit a right hand drive car.
Question Posted by Tylar
Do the Lemforder components in this kit come with hardware? I have seen other places that all Lemforder parts come with nuts. Just wanted to confirm prior to ordering. Thanks.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Despite the picture not showing them, Lemforder includes the required self locking hex nuts require for the installation of the components.
