BMW E36 E46 Z4 Control Arm Mount Rear with Extra Toe Adjustment

This rear control arm mount replaces the original mounting of the rear control arm on the BMW E36, E46 and Z4 and increases the range with which you set the toe of the rear wheels. The standard mount leaves only a little room, often too little to align the rear axle properly. You notice this not only on a built drift or track car, but also on an ordinary road car.

Lowered suspension, tired bushes or a repaired body: in all these cases you quickly hit the limit of the original mount during wheel alignment. With these redesigned brackets you get the most out of the toe adjustment.

Installation and delivery

The mount replaces the original control arm mount on the body. It is a job for a well-equipped workshop: the car must be safely on a lift or axle stands and the rear control arm must come off. Take the opportunity to inspect the control arm bushes and the panels around the mounting points straight away, because older BMWs often have wear or rust there.

After installation, a full wheel alignment is needed. Only then do you use the larger range and set the toe of the rear axle exactly where you want it.

You will find more parts for a stiff and well set-up rear end among our chassis and subframe reinforcements and in the control arms and tie rods category. If you have an E46 with a torn-out control arm mount, also take a look at the E46 control arm mount reinforcement PRO V2.

If you cannot get the rear toe right, the limit is often the original mount, not the alignment technician.

Why choose this rear control arm mount?

A correctly set-up rear axle is the basis for predictable handling and even tyre wear. In drifting you want a rear end that does exactly what you expect; on the road you want tyres that do not wear away on the inside. This mount gives the alignment technician the room he does not have with the original parts, and that in a set for both sides. So you do not have to compromise between a low car and a proper alignment.

Frequently asked questions

What does this rear control arm mount do?

It replaces the original rear control arm mount and gives a much larger range for setting the toe of the rear wheels.

Do I get one or two?

You get a pair: one mount for the left and one for the right rear wheel.

Which models does the set fit?

The BMW E36, E46 and Z4.

Can I keep using the original control arm bushes?

The mount does not change anything on the control arm itself. If the bushes in the control arm are worn or sagging, replace them in the same job. That saves double work and a second alignment.

Is this only for motorsport?

No. On road cars the original adjustment range is often too small as well, especially after lowering or with worn parts.

Does the car need to be aligned afterwards?

Yes. After replacing the mounts, always have the car fully aligned.
