Dinan Tension Strut Ball Joint Kit for BMW F10 M5 and F06 F12 F13 M6
Upgrade the front suspension on your BMW M5 or M6 with the Dinan Tension Strut Ball Joint Kit. This performance suspension upgrade replaces the factory rubber thrust arm bushings with precision ball joints housed in machined aluminium, delivering sharper steering response, tighter front end feel and reduced brake shimmy. If you want precise turn in, repeatable braking stability and long term durability without adding noise, this is the go to BMW M upgrade.
- Replaces OEM rubber thrust arm bushings with precision ball joints for immediate steering response and control
- Eliminates bushing deflection that causes vague front end feel and inconsistent alignment under load
- Reduces brake shimmy for smoother, more confidence inspiring heavy braking
- Machined aluminium housings for strength, accuracy and durability
- Quiet, sealed bearings with a protective rubber boot to keep out dirt and road grime
- Virtually noise free in daily driving while delivering motorsport grade precision
The Dinan Tension Strut Ball Joint Kit targets the front lower forward control arm, also known as the thrust arm or tension strut, on the BMW F10 M5 and F06 F12 F13 M6 platforms. By removing the soft factory bushing and fitting a spherical style ball joint, the front geometry holds steady under cornering and braking. The result is improved handling, better feedback through the steering wheel and a more planted, predictable feel on fast road and track.
We have installed and used this kit and our customers consistently report sharper turn in, improved mid corner stability and a welcome reduction in brake judder. Thanks to Dinan’s sealed design with a rubber boot, these are some of the quietest performance bearings available, built to resist premature wear caused by contamination.
