New Control Arms 13 X1 35i

[cwickberg]

So after 86K miles and some autocross and track time, needed to change out the control arms... As I gave my 2013 X135 Msport to my daughter years ago, she got them replaced for about $700, including a full 4 wheel alignment.

She noticed some funky handling and braking issues and I first thought I had maybe messed up the brake job I did for her back 8 months ago...

All in all, so far, Charge pipe and now this, other than normal maintenance, brakes and tires...

all around a great little rocket car...

So the control arm bushings on these cars aren't replaceable, you have to replace the entire control arm?

FCP Euro makes a kit for our cars and has an installation video here:

I don’t have enough miles yet, but this looks pretty good.

You can replace the bushings if you have a press. Otherwise, better to buy new arms with bushings already installed.

Remember to do the final torquing of everything while the suspension is under load. I did this by popping the wheels back on and lowering the car onto some ramps.
