M3 control arms on e92 2011

Mango1991 · 02-16-2020, 09:48 AM

Anyone ever had any knocking issues after fitting the m3 front arms?? Everything is new suspension wise on front. I think it's the rack and that's new aswell but not as loud as when old rack was fitted. Any ideas

I had them installed for few year now, no issues that you speak of.

Is the knocking associated with specific motions?

Just going over uneven road surface u get a slight knock. It's weird you go over a proper pot hole and don't hear a thing

Mine “knock” every so often when I’m on an incline and turn all the way to lock...like I’m backing into a parking spot on a ramp in a garage. It’s very infrequent and I’ve checked the torque on the arms since then...I just think they bind ever so slightly sometimes...

Mines is fine lock to lock just when I go over certain small bumps

This sounds like common sense but I did make this mistake so I’m posting it... make sure you didn’t bolt them on upside down. I did this and the larger arm was rubbing inside my wheel lol
