Product Information

Referred to as a "tension strut by BMW, a common wear item on high mileage vehicles

The tension strut on your BMW is responsible for locating the entire strut assembly. It maintains suspension geometry and keeps everything in place. With high mileage the inner bushing is a common wear item which when it fails will create a lot of racket as well as handling problems. The bushing can be replaced separately but we recommend replacing the entire arm that comes with the new bushing to save time and to avoid the use of specialty tools.

It is always recommended to replace controls arms in matching pairs for the best service life and performance.

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

Bushing doesn't fit into frame
The Meyle HD bushing is too large to fit into the frame opening. Don't buy.
