Recently fitted front m3 control arms.should there be any movement/play in the arm when you wiggle it.its the straighter of the front 2 arms.on one side I can wiggle the arm and it moves freely about on the joints.dont think the other side does it but that one is connected to the xenon headlight leveller.hope someone can help so I can get it sorted.

Can anyone else who has done the m3 front control arm upgrade confirm wether they too can freely twist/wiggle the front drivers side lower wishbone,the one without xenon leveller.need to get car in for alignment this week.thanks for any help

No movement should be expected as far as im aware

I thought that too.just would be greatfull if anyone others who have upgraded their arms could reach under and give there drivers side bottom wishbone a twist to see if it moves freely.cheers

Don't think it's lateral movement just twisting it round

Yes, you can twist it backwards and forwards as it has a ball joint at each end.

can anybody else confirm that its normal for the lower m3 arm to move/rotate when twisted by hand.even when the cars under load.desperately in need of 4 wheel alignment so would help if i knew for definate before i take it.
thanks again
