Yes — the package contains both left and right front lower wishbone (control) arms and both left and right complete front tie rod assemblies.
The kit explicitly includes the front wishbone bushes for left and right. The tie rods are sold as 'complete' assemblies (inner/outer joints included). For control-arm-mounted ball joints, check the specific seller listing or contact the vendor to confirm if ball joints are pre-pressed or need separate installation.
Yes. Replacing lower control arms and tie rods affects toe and camber; a professional 4-wheel alignment is strongly recommended after installation.
These are aftermarket replacement parts designed to match OEM fit and function. The product lists many OEM reference numbers for cross-reference, but the items themselves are not genuine BMW-branded parts.
The listing references many OEM numbers including (but not limited to) 31121094276, 31121136529/130/131/132, 31121140399/40400, 31121140957/40958, 31126758513–516, 31351091764, 31351127689/28737, 32111139315/39316, 3160500023, 3160503601, and several aftermarket cross codes. Confirm your vehicle’s part numbers before ordering.
The kit is listed for general E36 and Z3 E36 models. E36 M3s sometimes have different suspension geometry or part numbers — you should verify compatibility with your specific M3 VIN/part numbers before purchasing.
Basic to intermediate mechanical skills are required. Typical tools: jack and stands, torque wrench, sockets and spanners, ball joint separator/press (if needed), and pry bars. Some bushings/ball joints may require a press. If you’re not experienced with suspension work, professional installation is recommended.
For a competent mechanic with proper tools, replacing both lower control arms and tie rods on one axle typically takes 2–4 hours. Time varies with condition of original hardware and whether ball joints/bushes need pressing.
The kit includes 2 front stabiliser links and the listing notes they are not sided/handed, meaning they are interchangeable between left and right positions.
The kit contains the listed arms, bushes, tie rods and links but may not include all mounting bolts, nuts, or cotter pins required on some vehicles. It's common practice to replace any corroded fasteners. Follow factory torque specs and replace single-use hardware if needed.
These replacement parts are typically made from stamped or forged steel with rubber/polyurethane bushings and corrosion-resistant coatings to meet OEM-style fitment and durability. For precise material specs or testing data, consult the seller or manufacturer.
Warranty and return policies vary by seller or marketplace. Check the product listing or contact the retailer/manufacturer directly to confirm warranty length, coverage, and the returns process before purchase.
