FYSA- I needed to replace my M3 lower control arms a few months ago. All the vendors were out of stock of TRW brand at the time. They only had 034 motorsports control arm sets. No reviews on any of them. I know.....034 has a horrible reputation from the motor mount fiasco. But I needed these components and thought perhaps it was just a failure to take in to account the engine heat that led to all the failures. I also read that they had a good reputation in the VW/Audi community, so I thought the motor mounts cod just have been a bad entry product in to the BMW world.
Fast forward to now 3-4 months of having the front control arms on. I've developed a wobble in both feont wheels. Inspected and found that both control rod inner spherical bearings have significant play.
Completely unacceptable on a part this new.
Unfortunately I also bought them from ECS. Trying to get a refund is going to be like pulling teeth because replacement arms are out of the question from this brand.
I decided to be the guinea pig and it ended up not being in my favor.
Just wanted to give everyone a warning.
