#3. Front Control Arms: Meyle full metal ball joint - from kim.burgess@att.net

Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2007 20:03:59 +0000 From: kim.burgess@att.net Subject: Front Control Arms: Meyle full metal ball joint I fit a set on my wife's 328. So far they seem to be working fine. Bought= mine from James @ Bimmerworld for ~ $99 each. By the way, I think I recall that Meyle is somehow connected with Bilstie= n. As I recall, the only difference (for the 96+) between the stock M and no= n-M control arm is the outer ball joint.

They've got the Meyle front control arms for the E36 chassis with the 'im= proved'=20 full metal ball joints. However, they appear to be applicable to 318/325 = only,=20 not for M3. What's the difference (if there is one)? I know E30 M3 came with aluminum control arm for reduced unsprung weight,= =20 thought E36 M3 came with steel arm even though E30 arm is fittable. Jake Davis

I had two sets on E30s last similarly, completely shot in less than 7-8k miles. I do my own work so there is no out-of-pocket costs for labor and I still wouldn't install Meyle parts if they were given to me for free. I think Lemforeder (sp) are better. Not sure what brand oem are. > Wouldn't mind a comment or two, as I am in the market for a full set > (again). Lemförder (also spelled Lemfoerder) are great, worth what they cost without question.
