e46 msport lower front wishbones/arms

Recommended Posts

im sure there is someone here with the know how about this.

is there any differnce between the standered and the m-tec bottom wishbones.

i know the springs is lower and the shocks are valved differnt to give better damping,and the roll bar is thicker and stiffer. but im wondering about the bottom wishbone as i have a spare set and im going to put them into the wifes car as one of her balljoints has gone.

From a quick look on realoem.com it does seem that they are the same.

its quite hard to measure them as im sure ud guess,the only visable differnce i can see is that the outter balljoint seams to be mounted stright into the alloy arm on the m-sport arm but on the non m-sport arm it has like a slight cp at the bottom and is like rubber mounted. also states on the m-sport arm that it is m sport suspension only.

im just going to fit the pair of the arms but my main aim is to find out if anyone knows if there is any differnce in length as it will effect the angle of the wheel and if anything else is needed to adjust the shock etc before i have the wheels aligned.

thanks for your time and the reply
