Turner Motorsport Monoball Front Control Arm Bushings - E82 inc 1M/E9X

Sharper steering. Stronger braking. Zero drama. Upgrade the front axle of your BMW with this Turner spherical thrust arm kit and transform the way your car turns, stops and communicates. If you are tired of vague feedback, brake shimmy and wandering alignment caused by the factory fluid-filled bushes, this precision bearing solution is the fast road and track day fix that delivers crisp response without harshness.

Engineered for E82 1 Series including 1M, E9X 3 Series including M3, and E89 Z4, this front lower arm upgrade replaces the compliant rubber with a sealed OE ball joint and a robust machined housing. The result is immediate turn-in, stable braking and consistent geometry under load.

Why enthusiasts choose this upgrade

• Instant steering response and improved front-end bite
• Reduced brake judder and tramlining under hard stops
• Consistent caster and camber for better tyre contact and wear
• Low-friction movement for smooth suspension travel and great road manners
• Maintenance free design built for durability

Premium construction

• Sealed OE BMW ball joint for long service life and reliability
• 6061-T6 anodised aluminium body for corrosion resistance
• Knurled outer diameter for a secure interference fit in the wishbone
• Precision 304 stainless inserts for an exact locating interface

On our own cars, this change brings the front end to life. Customers consistently report cleaner feedback through the wheel, more confidence on turn-in and a big reduction in mid-corner float. It is a brilliant alternative to soft rubber or even many poly options for anyone who values accuracy without unnecessary NVH.

Ideal for

• Fast-road builds seeking a direct, connected feel
• Track day and club sport applications wanting repeatable lap-to-lap geometry
• Suspension refresh on ageing E8X and E9X chassis to cure shimmy and instability
