Front Control Arms
Control Arms: The control arm locations are similar to the E39 528i with a single control arm and tension rod per side. The layout of the arms combined with the tensioning rods located in front of the wheel center provides balanced steering during cornering.
The hydro mounts in the front of the tension rods contain hydraulic fluid in internal channeling to dampen wheel vibrations.
Small vibrations are cushioned by these mounts and isolated from the steering wheel.
