I have meyle hd’s with solid treehouse fcab’s for about 2 years ~20,000 miles on my m3 and have had no issues. Rides very smooth
I’ve had meyle hd front control arms for a few years now and they’ve been fine but my e36 is just a summer daily so I don’t push it very hard.
Meyle HD lower control arms are better and longer lasting than OEM. They won't crack arms like the poly bushes.
I also put on new brakes and rotors on the front.
TRW is good quality. They're a Tier 1 supplier to carmakers. I wouldn't hesitate to install TRW.
But you have to make a differential between Meyle standard and Meyle HD, it's night and day difference in quality, all HD parts have a 4 year guarantee, I think the regular have 1 year. I have a few years of experience when it comes to quality of control arms
I did have to replace the front control arms last year at $1,300.
Front lower control arms need to be changed because of worn ball joints around 60k miles/ 100k Kms
Part suggestion: Nissan OEM
How to tell? You will feel a popping while steering and hear it, your steering will also be sloppier in the direction where the ball joint is failing.
I have 51,900 miles on my car and it just started to squeak like a 1970's car when I turn the wheel- REALLY LOUD. So I've read all the articles and I know this is a known issue for control arms...
I have a Model3 RWD, the heavy batteries cause the arms to crack, just by weight alone with road conditions in southern Cali. Both of my arms on both sides were denied by one service center. However, a month later, I took it to a different service center and they processed all of it under warranty.
