Rear Left Guide Rod, OEM - E82 1M, E9X M3

The guide rod is the leading control arm in the E90, E92, E93 M3 rear suspension (and E82 1M). It sits halfway up the wheel carrier in between the trailing arm and upper wishbone.

A control arm should be replaced when the ball joint or bushing shows signs of wear. This control arm uses a rubber bushing on the outside that will affect the alignment if it's worn out.
