❓ Frequently Asked Questions 

1. Which BMW models are these control arms designed for?
   These front lower wishbone control arms fit BMW 5 Series (F10 & F11) and 6 Series (F12 & F13) models. For the best match, you should check your VIN or compare the part numbers to confirm fitment.

2. Why would I need to replace these wishbone control arms?

   • The bushings inside the arms can wear over time, causing play, knocking, or sloppy steering.

   • The ball joints may also loosen, affecting suspension geometry and handling precision.

   • Many car owners choose to replace both arms at once to keep suspension balanced and avoid premature wear on the new arm.

3. What symptoms indicate worn or failing lower control arms?

   • Knocking or clunking noises coming from the front suspension, especially when going over bumps or during braking. > “car was brought in for service … it started making clunking noises”

   • Vibration through the steering wheel or a sense of looseness in steering.

   • Uneven tyre wear or alignment being out, requiring frequent realignment.

4. Is it better to replace both arms at once or just one side?
   We strongly recommend replacing both left and right arms at the same time. This ensures symmetric suspension behavior, consistent geometry, and balanced handling.

5. After replacing these arms, do I need a wheel alignment?
   Yes — after any control arm replacement, a full wheel alignment is essential to reset camber, caster, and toe, ensuring your car handles correctly and tyres wear evenly.

6. How difficult is the installation?

   • Moderate difficulty: involves lifting the car, removing the front wheels, unbolting the old arms, and installing the new ones.

   • It’s important to torque the bushing bolts with the suspension at normal ride height. This prevents preloading the bushings incorrectly. > As discussed in BMW tech forums.

   • Double-check all bolts and ball joints before driving, and then get a full alignment.

   We offer our standard parts warranty on these control arms. If there is premature wear, manufacturing defect, or fitment issues, our customer service team will help with replacement or return.
