Replacing the Front Steering Arm

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Control arm

The necessary tools are a ratchet wrench, a set of open-end wrenches, and the replacement arm. Lift the car and secure it with appropriate jack stands so it cannot fall. Remove the wheel to access the mechanics. Once the broken arm is located, proceed with removal by unscrewing all the bolts. Also, remove the steering arm support by unscrewing the two bolts. Check the rest of the mechanics, especially the vibration dampers that support the arms; replace them if necessary. Reinstall the new arm and the rest of the previously removed mechanics.
