Need Control Arm Install from a local member.

hongsc · 10-23-2016, 11:25 PM

The person that was suppose to install the upper and lower control arms is busy and I want these installed quick. If anyone is local to SoCal, experienced and can install these PM me. PM me your name, phone number, and install price. This is for labor only since I already have the parts sitting at home. I'm willing to drive out as long as it's not too far. For reference I live in Los Angeles/Koreatown. Thanks all!

EAS has been good to me. My car has been back at their shop at least 3x now (turbo problems). But, so far, they have an excellent customer service and price.

Had them installed yesterday by Rob at SoCal BMW Install. If anyone thinks they can get away without doing an alignment is insane. Had to drive back 40+ miles to home. The dash lit up, car would drive all over the place, increased road noise/screeching tires, turns were pretty crazy, the steering wheel would just turn and turn. Did alignment in the afternoon at Firestone. Bring the hate. Turned out pretty good. Car feels great even though it wasn't aligned to what I wanted.

For reference, my car didn't feel even, turns were bouncy etc. Not sure if the control arms made the difference. The car feels more planted, slightly stiffer, steering wheel doesn't turn in. Some things to note. My original control arms were fine. They weren't leaking. So have no idea. I was told that a bolt was loose on my subframe. Looks like someone loosen it and the bolts are one time use only. Not sure if that's what caused my problem. But I'm really happy with the end result.

Alignment specs recommended for m3 control arms:
Front -1.3 (0 toe)
Rear: -1.8 (3/32 toe)
