Overview

The JL Germany control arm is a steel, front left assembly for the E30 chassis. It includes an integrated ball joint. Control arms are critical suspension components that control wheel and suspension movement. A faulty or worn control arm or ball joint can be dangerous. For street cars, yearly inspection and replacement every 3-4 years is advised. For track cars, inspect before every event and replace every two years. It is recommended to replace bushings when changing control arms.
Show original supplier description
The JL Germany control arm assembly, featuring an integrated ball joint, is a direct replacement for the front left side of the E30 BMW. Constructed from steel, this component is crucial for controlling wheel and suspension movement, and its wear can pose a significant safety risk, potentially leading to dangerous driving conditions. The manufacturer recommends yearly inspections for street-driven vehicles, with a full replacement every 3-4 years. For those who track their vehicles, inspections should occur before each event, with replacements every two years. It is also advised to replace the control arm bushings concurrently, as they are mounted at the rear of the arm and locate it to the car's frame rail, often wearing out before the control arm itself. They supply parts directly to BMW and over 50 other major automotive manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz and Audi. Lemförder emphasizes design, production, and assembly for maximum reliability and applies corrosion protection for extended longevity. This ensures that the part meets stringent quality standards. This control arm assembly is designed to fit various E30 models, including the 1984-1991 BMW 318i, 318is, 318ic, 325e, 325es, 325i, 325ic, and 325is, as well as the M3.
