I embarked on the full M3 control arms for the front some rear. The M3 arms have more solid less isolated bushings. It was amazing how much road feel you get back. Some people can’t take the NVH, and go back.
I have a 2014 Durango i bought from agency, Albeit a V8, but same applies to you.
Very nice and reliable cars, I passed 200K Kilometers on the car, i only had to replace control arms, tie rods and everything else in 2024, so the original ones held on for 10 years without needing to change. I now have to replace rotors and brakes as well.
I went with MOOG for the lower control arms on my E46. Seemed like really decent quality. I want to say they were made in Turkey, and half the price of Genuine.
Ive used many trw parts and theyve held up good.
A4 b8.5 with 175k on it, only problem I had was a seized brake caliper.
Have carried out preventative maintenance though, so check your timing belt/water pump. Replaced control arms on the front and brakes.
The rest is just regular service and oil change religiously at 6k miles
Whenever possible, use OEM parts like TRW control arms. Same parts the dealers sell at significantly less cost.
Mine started squeaking at about 40k miles. I didn't feel like replacing them yet and they were still solid so I did the grease gun with needle fitting "fix". Squeak went completely away after a day and has been gone for the last 10k+ miles.
I just had an issue with creaking control arms. Tesla warrantied the labor and changed $250 for the parts.
Have had to warranty out quite a few sets of Lemforder arms these days. Unfortunate to see as they use to be top notch.
meyle is garbage.
