Camber arms BMW E36 E46 Z4 (upper)

With these upper camber arms you adjust the camber of the rear wheels of a BMW E36, E46 or Z4. It is a set of adjustable upper control arms for the rear axle, fitted with heavy-duty chromoly uniballs. You decide for yourself how much the rear wheels are tilted, matched to your tyres, ride height and use.

The upper camber arms are intended for drift and the quarter mile, where it is mainly about maximum traction on the driven axle, and for stance projects. They are suitable for heavily lowered cars and make it possible to fit large wheels without modifying the wheel arches.

Installation and delivery

The upper camber arms replace the original upper control arms of the rear axle. They are fitted to the existing mounting points. Before fitting, set both arms to the same length so that left and right start out equal, and then adjust step by step. After adjusting, tighten the lock nuts properly and check them again after the first few drives, because a uniball has no rubber to absorb play.

Always have the alignment checked after adjusting, because a different camber also affects the toe. Combine the arms with adjustable lower arms, such as our uniball camber arms for the E36, E46 and Z4, for the largest adjustment range. You will find more options in our camber arms category.

Why choose these upper camber arms?

On a heavily lowered E36, E46 or Z4, the rear camber is often no longer where you want it. With the original arms, there is little you can do about that. These upper camber arms give you that control back, so you can set the wheel position for grip or for looks. The heavy-duty chromoly uniballs and the thick-walled S355 tubing make them suitable for intensive use on track and at drift events.

A uniball also gives a direct feel: the rear axle responds without the delay of soft rubber bushes. This lets you sense better what the rear is doing, which is a big advantage when drifting and steering hard.
