BMW E46 323i 325i 328i 330i / Z4 Aluminium Front Control Arm with Polyurethane Bushing

Product Overview

This front control arm combines an aluminium arm with polyurethane bushing and is listed for the BMW E46 3 Series (323, 325, 328 and 330 variants) and the Z4. Worn front control arms and bushings are a common cause of vague steering, clunks over bumps and uneven tyre wear on these models. A replacement arm with firmer polyurethane bushing restores precision and adds a tighter feel to the front end.

Key Features and Benefits

• Aluminium arm construction
• Polyurethane bushing for firmer, more precise response
• Front position replacement part
• Helps restore steering accuracy on worn suspension
• Suits both daily driven and enthusiast vehicles

Vehicle Compatibility

The supplier lists fitment for the BMW E46 323, 325, 328 and 330 and the Z4. A wide spread of year ranges between 1996 and 2011 is given without a clear breakdown by model. Fitment is supplier-stated and not independently verified, so please confirm compatibility with your vehicle, including drive type and side, before ordering.
