About Control Arm Bushess
A BMW control arm bush is made from a tough rubber and installed on the front and rear control arms of vehicles to ensure that they are fitted securely to the suspension system. The control arm of a vehicle is responsible for allowing the smooth movement of tyres in line with a vehicle’s body.
The BMW control arm bush is a crucial part of the suspension system and should be maintained like any other part of the vehicle. Should one fail, the control arm will have more give and could potentially fail, meaning that the drive will be very uncomfortable over bumpy surfaces.
Because of the rubberised material of the BMW control arm bush it is possible that it could crack and deteriorate, particularly if it comes in to contact with oil or dirt. If one of these BMW bushes becomes worn it should be replaced quickly as vehicular damage can escalate.
You may notice that your tyres are not wearing evenly, or wear quickly or the drive has become more awkward and bumpy. If this is the case you should also examine the control arms for signs of damage and wear and replace as necessary.
BMW trivia
- The very first BMW was named the 'Dixi'. They hadn't designed it (it was really an English Austin), and they dropped the name 'Dixi' very quickly, instead opting for the rather more grandiose BMW 3/15 DA-2. Rolls off the tongue!
- It might not be the accessory that everyone needs, but for BMW drivers in South Africa who were worried about carjackers, the 'Blaster' was a flamethrower that shot huge flames from either side of the car. Not currently available in the UK…
- The main headquarters for BMW in Munich is designed and shaped to look like car parts. There was a whole new 'four-cylinder' building added on in 1973, and there's definitely the look of an engine about the architecture.
- The BMW company was founded way back in 1916 and originally manufactured engines for planes. High demand for plane engines during WWI was good news for BMW, but they carried on making plane engines right up until 1945.
- Electric cars might be all the rage now, but BMW built their first one in 1972 and called it the BMW 1602e. It didn't quite make it to market though, thanks to the fact that it could only hold a twenty-minute charge.
