Introduction
Is this the best bang for your buck handling upgrade to improve the front-end handling of your BMW?
The problem
To keep production costs and noise, vibration and harshness minimal BMW engineers had to use a deflection prone and quick to fatigue rubber bushes across the car. The most detrimental to handling on the front-end of the car is the control arm bush.
For performance driving, you want your alignment to be as you set it, and not to be changing undesirably dynamically, as you are driving. This rubber bush allows this excessive movement, changing alignment dynamically, reducing handling and reducing confidence behind the wheel.
The Solution
The MOTON control arm bearing kit solves this problem. They achieve this with a special spherical bearing from their tried and tested, and durable top-mounts precision, retained in place with precision CNC machined cups. This MOTON control arm bearing kit eliminates unwanted dynamic change of the alignment, improving front-end grip and inspiring a massive level of confidence which can be felt under braking, cornering - any situation where loads will be going through the suspension.
What makes the MOTON control bearing kit special
Using quality control arm bearings like the Moton ones has multiple advantages over the stock bearings. The MOTON BMW control arm bearings are built to endure the toughest conditions, thanks to their exceptional build quality. Each set is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with the brand’s signature orange anodizing for added corrosion resistance. The precisely machined, lightweight aluminum caps at either end of the central bearing fit seamlessly into the bearing’s housing, ensuring a snug, secure fit. Additionally, a carbon-composite press-in tool is included to simplify installation, as the bearings are engineered with tight tolerances for a perfect fit.
The Moton control arm bearings are engineered with tight tolerances and high quality materials, reducing unwanted movement and play within the suspension system. This precision gives drivers better control over steering, translating to more accurate vehicle handling, especially during high-speed maneuvers or aggressive cornering. During high-performance driving, precise control over steering and handling allows drivers to have more confidence. This can be the difference between feeling connected to the road vs struggling with a vague, unresponsive suspension.
AST Moton bearings can handle high loads, intense vibrations and extreme temperatures without compromising their integrity. This gives reliability ensuring suspension performance under extreme conditions like sharp braking, high-speed cornering and sudden load shifts.
Because of its construction from aircraft-grade aluminium, it provides unwavering durability, eliminating the need to replace them frequently and lowering maintenance demands. The robust construction also results in consisten performance under load. This prevents the suspension from components from shifting or flexing unexpectedly, giving a predictable feel.
