Just wanted to post up over the last few weeks I’ve had the exact same shudder like vibration only when lightly touching the brakes or when I turn left unloading the left front wheel and it would shudder. I replaced the wheel bearing but it wasn’t that because I did bump a semi - tall smooth curb at speed i figured just in case the bearing was bad I’d replace it. I picked up new tension arms and spherical bearings thinking it was them I’m about to install them but figured it was either the tension arms or the control arms. In OPs case it was the control arm so I’m feeling like that’s going to be my Solution as well. I just wanted to post up here and I’ll follow up with my solution as well. Cheers

This is definitely the kind of issue that will find many people getting anal raped at a dealership. Fortunately I do all my own work and it’s just common sense trying to narrow it down. I had fcabs on my e46 m3 fail and it was extremely similar so I knew it was one of the arms. I’ll update with results and hopefully some vid too ! |

I’m surprised that there is no options for a ball joint end that can be pressed into the factory arm not requiring an entire new arm but then again the chassis side is a monoball and it couldn’t hurt to have a new one there as well (an option to replace that end too would still be cheaper than buying a factory arm imo). I’ll post a vid here shortly I guess I’ll have to upload it to YouTube first. I used a clamp mount with a GoPro and a light on it on the thrust arm to record the ball joint end shaking. |
