Inner Ball Joint, Meyle HD - E46 323i/325i/328i/330i, E85 Z4

This is the inner ball joint used on the front control arms for 1999-2006 E46 and 2003-2008 E85 Z4 models. This is the inner ball joint only and requires the old joint to be pressed out and the new one pressed in. Buying a new complete control arm is more expensive but a better overall replacement.

Meyle HD control arms use a similar ball joint design as the M3 and 330 ZHP. Instead of a rubber-isolated ball joint, the Meyle Heavy-Duty ball joint is solid mounted in the control arm. This gives a more direct feeling between the tires and the suspension, which you will notice from the steering wheel. The E46 Meyle HD arms have better steering response and stability than an Original or OEM control arm and very similar to the ZHP arms. The Meyle arms have an all metal ball joint with an aerospace-grade liner and marine-grade grease. The all-metal ball joint has much less slop and play even as it wears.

This E46 ball joint is a Heavy-Duty design from Meyle. Meyle HD parts are designed and engineered in Germany using an OE+ approach. Meyle engineers use the original design but with several improvements in materials and design to make a ball joint that lasts longer and performs better than the stock part. Meyle HD parts are true upgrades that surpass OEM parts but without compromises to noise or ride quality. Meyle HD parts have a four year warranty.
