BMW Motorcycle Control Arms

BMW Motorrad control arms work much like automotive control arms. They're responsible for connecting the bike's chassis to the wheel. As such, they're a critical component in your motorcycle's suspension system.

How Control Arms Work

This hinged suspension link attaches by means of a single pivot -- typically a rubber bushing. This allows the control arm to maintain the proper radial distance from the inboard mounting point, while adjusting the position of the outboard end to adapt to ever-changing road surfaces and conditions.

How to Spot a Faulty Control Arm

Eventually, though, rough rides and wear-and-tear can combine to weaken a control arm. When that happens, your enjoyment decreases in direct proportion to your discomfort. Signs of trouble include:

• Your wheels vibrate or wobble
• Your motorcycle pulls to one side
• Excessive tire wear
• Your ride quality begins to suffer
