Replacement of the front suspension arm of the BMW 3 Series E92.

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Control arm

To replace the front suspension arm of the BMW series, lift the car and remove the front wheel, clean the fixing nuts, unscrew the nuts that secure the arm to the beam with 18mm wrenches, use a hydraulic jack to support the ball joint, and unscrew the ball joint nut with a 21mm socket. Lower the jack, turn the steering wheel and remove the old arm, clean the surfaces and insert the new arm, reattach the ball joint, partially tighten the bolts on which we have applied some anti-seize copper paste. Release the tension on the joint with the jack, tighten the fixings with a torque wrench and reassemble the wheel.
