Millway’s Front Control Arm Bushing upgrade replaces the large, compliant factory rubber bushing with a motorsport-grade sealed ball joint, delivering sharper steering response and far greater precision. The OEM bushing allows significant flex under load, which affects geometry stability during cornering and braking. This upgrade eliminates that unwanted movement, giving the car a more direct, confident feel.

Designed specifically for F-series BMW platforms — including both rear-wheel-drive and xDrive variants — this bushing provides improved feedback without the harshness typically associated with solid mounts. The inclusion of a rubber dust cap protects the joint from road debris, ensuring long service life in both road and track environments.

Whether building a fast-road setup or preparing a dedicated track car, this is a worthwhile upgrade for drivers seeking tighter handling, enhanced stability, and more predictable front-end behaviour.

FAQs

Does this increase NVH?
Very minimally. The sealed ball joint design controls movement without introducing harshness, making it suitable for road use.

Do these fit xDrive models?
Yes — the bushings are fully compatible with both 2WD and xDrive vehicles.

Do I need an alignment after installation?
Yes. Any suspension change affecting geometry should be followed by a professional alignment.

Is this suitable for daily-driven cars?
Yes. Many customers run these on fast-road cars thanks to the sealed, protected design.

Are the bushings sold as a pair?
Yes — supplied as a pair for one front axle.
