Control arms

[B1mmer]

So you are running poly control arm bushings and you expect the car to be super quiet? I bet if you put stock control arm bushings back in there, you would never have noise. - AB

What brand control arms and are you sure its not some other worn component?

Just to clarify, you replaced the control arm bushings at the same time right?

I did not, ive been running solid ones for a couple of thousand miles.

I know this is the wrong section, but most people view this and I need urgent help.


On October 27 of 2013 I replaced my control arms because they were clunking and creaking. I was aware the car was in an accident, but was not aware the car had shoddy repairs. It had mismatched control arm. I started hearing the same noise again and sent the arms back and got a new replacement set on January 5 of this year. Those have been fine until yesterday the noise is back. :(


Does anyone know why this can be happening so often? It is seriously getting on my nerves. Could a bad alignment be ruining them?

Any help at all is appreciated.
