PMC Motorsport Adjustable Forged Steel Rear Suspension Control Arm Set BMW 1 Series E81 / E82 / E87 / E88 with 63 kN Uniball Ends (Black) – Set of 6 pcs.

A complete set of 6 adjustable rear axle control arms (3 pairs) for BMW 1 Series E81 / E82 / E87 / E88. The arms are manufactured using PMC Technik technology: forged monoblock links with cold-formed rolled threads (CFT) and heavy-duty 40HM Uniball spherical bearings with PTFE liners rated at 63 kN. This kit replaces factory rear control arms and allows complete geometry adjustment – toe, camber, and wheel positioning – tailored for coilover suspension setups, circuit racing, drifting, or time attack.

Key Benefits

• Complete rear axle geometry control – one kit replaces three pairs of suspension arms responsible for geometry, allowing independent adjustment of toe and camber without the compromises of factory adjustment ranges.
• Forged monoblock links – zero welds – links forged from a single piece of solid steel, eliminating weld seams and heat-affected zones (HAZ), engineered with a 6:1 safety factor under dynamic loads.
• CFT cold-rolled threads – up to 30% higher tensile strength than machined cut threads, featuring a smooth surface finish of Ra ≤ 0.8 µm for effortless adjustment even after years of harsh use.
• 40HM Uniballs with PTFE liner – heat-treated 42CrMo4 / AISI 4140 chromoly steel housing, delivering maintenance-free, self-lubricating operation in temperatures from −50°C to +150°C.
• Direct handling without play – Uniball spherical bearings eliminate the deflection of soft OEM rubber bushings, ensuring alignment geometry remains constant under hard acceleration, braking, and high cornering loads.
• Durable powder coating – RAL 9005 matte black powder coating protects the steel against corrosion, road grime, and salt.
• Plug & play installation – bolts directly into factory mounting points without chassis or body modifications.
• Made in Poland & quality tested – CNC-machined and rigorously inspected prior to dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which car models does this set fit?

It fits BMW 1 Series E81 (3-door), E87 (5-door, including LCI facelift), E82 (Coupe), and E88 (Convertible), with petrol and diesel engines. All control arms included in the set have verified fitment according to the BMW parts catalog.

Does the set fit the BMW 1M Coupe?

No. The BMW 1M Coupe uses different rear suspension arms. This set is engineered strictly for non-M versions of the 1 Series.

What is included in the set?

3 pairs (6 pcs.) of adjustable rear axle control arms: rear upper control arms (camber arms), rear guide arms, and rear track control arms (toe arms).

Can I purchase the arms individually?

Yes. Each pair of control arms in the set is available separately. The complete set is the best choice when you want to achieve full rear axle geometry alignment.

Does installation require modifications?

No. The control arms bolt directly into factory mounting points. A full suspension alignment on a professional rig is required after installation.

Is a Uniball bearing suitable for a daily driver?

Yes, although Uniball spherical bearings transfer more vibrations to the chassis than soft OEM rubber bushings. In return, they deliver precise and repeatable handling, making them the preferred choice for performance street, track day, and drift cars.

Does the price include customs duty for orders outside the European Union?

No. The product price and shipping quotes do not include customs duties, taxes, or local clearance fees applicable in the destination country.

Can I purchase with 0% VAT?

Yes, if you are a B2B customer outside Poland with an active EU VAT number (verified in VIES) or when ordering with delivery outside the European Union.

PMC Motorsport parts are intended for motorsport use. Installation must be performed by a professional workshop, and a suspension alignment must be carried out after installing the control arms.
