Product Details
The Ball Joint on your 2015-2018 BMW M3 (F80) design allows the control arm to articulate freely with minimal resistance, delivering sharper steering response and more consistent suspension geometry. When installed on F22 and F3X models, this arm increases negative front camber by approximately 0.5 degrees by pushing the lower portion of the wheel outward, while also being slightly lighter than the factory control arm.
These front Lower Control Arms (also known as “wishbone” by BMW) is a direct fit for the F80 M3, F82/F83 M4 and serves as a popular performance upgrade for the F22 2-Series and F3X 3/4-Series. Unlike standard arms that rely on soft rubber bushings, the M3/M4 wishbone features sealed inner bearings, providing superior precision, durability, and reduced deflection under load. This makes it an ideal upgrade for track and autocross applications, improving front-end grip, turn-in, and overall handling without compromising reliability.
