BMW X3 (E83) Control Arm Kit - Symptoms, Highlights, and Product Review
As your car ages, so does it's suspension. Depending on where you live and your driving style, you may need to replace suspension components sooner than you realize. Our convenient six piece control arm kit contains everything you need to refresh your front suspension back to its former self with just the click of a button.
Over time your suspension wears out, and you might not immediately notice as it happens gradually. If you could compare your car's handling back-to-back from the day you purchased it to after you've racked up 70,000 miles, you'd immediately become aware (I know when I refreshed my suspension I had the "So that's what my car is supposed to feel like" revelation). As rubber ages, it becomes brittle and loses the ability to dampen movement. Eventually, the rubber can separate from the sleeve of the bushing and allow a considerable amount of motion; the opposite of what you want in a properly functioning suspension.
When you go to do the work replacing a bushing or ball joint, you might find that your suspension components are completely rusted solid. The salt used on the roads in Northeast doesn't discriminate, taking its toll on every car. Because the BMW X3 is extremely susceptible to rusted/seized suspension components, this kit contains everything you need to refresh the front end.
In the video below, Gareth gives us a bit of insight on why you want to replace your control arms, the symptoms of a worn suspension that you might experience while driving, and highlights the parts in this kit that will remedy your issues.
