Review on Lemforder OEM 17978 01, 31 12 6 783 376 Control Arm Bushing Kit Set for Front Suspension by Bryan Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

At 103,000 miles my originals were shooting pretty well and I was getting vibrations through and through.

This is an OEM replacement LCA socket for some e46 3 series. At 103,000 miles my originals had shot up pretty well and I was getting vibration through the steering wheel that full wheel balancing didn't quite eliminate. Easy to install, just use some soap and water to apply to the LCA (do not use grease/oil). To pull off the old one you needed a 3-armed puller and a rubber hammer / rubber mallet. I'm glad I spent a little more on these bushings including the bodies.

Pros
  • Pleased
Cons
  • Some issues
