SKU: KTA285Benefit Note: The Whiteline KTA285 front tension strut arm upgrade is a purpose-built solution for drivers who want sharper braking response, improved turn-in, and added front-end adjustability without sacrificing street manners. Designed to address the significant loads placed on the front tension strut (also known as the thrust arm) under braking and corner entry, this upgrade delivers tangible performance gains where it matters most. Factory rubber bushings are intentionally soft and open in design to allow multi-axis movement during steering, but under heavy braking they compress and release, allowing unwanted arm deflection. The result is reduced stability, inconsistent braking feel, and tire skip—issues that are amplified when ABS is engaged or the car is driven hard. Whiteline’s upgraded arm and bushing solution dramatically reduces this compliance, keeping the suspension geometry stable and the tire planted under load. At the heart of the system are offset performance synthetic elastomer bushings, which increase caster and camber for improved straight-line stability, enhanced steering feel, and stronger front-end grip on corner entry. This added adjustability allows enthusiasts to dial in a more aggressive alignment without the need for additional hardware, making it equally at home on a fast road car or a dedicated track setup.
A short fall of the modern day IFS 4wd is the adjustment range provided for successful wheel alignments, this becomes even more of an issue when the vehicle is lifted by more than 1 inch. Not only does the vehicle run into camber and caster issues, but ball joint articulation and clearance issues to the coil over strut at ride and droop height. The new Whiteline offset UCA (Upper Control Arm) is an all-in-one solution for any vehicle that has been lifted between 30mm and 70mm. Providing an increase between +2.5 and +3.5 degrees of caster and up to 1.5 degrees of negative camber increase (figures quoted are based off an approximate 50mm/ 2 inch) along with greater clearance to the coil over strut and more articulation of the arm by virtue of new maintenance free GIIRO bushing technology.

These Whiteline front lower control arms feature significant geometry gains with -1.0deg camber and +0.75deg caster improvements into these arms to optimise wheel alignments settings for track performance. Caster increases dynamic negative camber on the outside wheel whilst turning, offering more grip without introducing the tyre wear associated with static negative camber. Furthermore the increase in caster improves traction and increases the self-centring effect of the steering. Throw this altogether and the small change in additional caster improves the front-end grip and handling considerably. Whiteline's rear mounted bushing combines the superior mechanical properties of synthetic elastomer formulation with high quality sealed bearing assembly permitting smooth movement of the arm as the wheel moves up and down. Complemented by a front bushing utilizing an oversized heavy duty crush tube, resulting in dramatic improvements to steering precision, most noticeably reduced 'toe-change' during hard cornering, creating impressive turn-in ability! The more positive location of the arm through the range of suspension movement and gains in alignment geometry ensures the car feels more responsive and engaging at turn-in, mid corner and corner exit.
Complete replacement control arms featuring Whiteline Anti Lift Kit that are primarily designed to improve traction and cornering grip under power. Increasing static caster to both front wheels. The special low compliance bushings reduce caster wind-back and maintain tighter tolerances between static and dynamic alignment settings. The additional caster coupled with the firmer bushings serve to dramatically sharpen initial turn-in response - forcing more consistent alignment angles through the corner due to the reduced bush compliance.

Whiteline KTA383 for the BMW F22 2-Series and F3X 3/4-Series is a set of 4 complete arms to solve any front end issues you may have. Due to the high performance of many BMW models, the original rubber tension strut arm bushings tend to take a beating and have a limited service life. In addition many owners will lower their BMW with a lowering kit or coilovers and may have a front end geometry issue that needs correcting.
For ease of fitment these new alloy tension arms also come complete with sealed ball joint ends and adjustable synthetic elastomer bushings. These facilitate +/- 0.5 deg caster adjustment for improved straight-line stability, enhanced steering feel, and stronger front-end grip on corner entry.
The F8X M car upgraded front control arms feature sealed inner bearings to provide superior precision, durability, and reduced deflection under load. They add a fixed 0.5 deg negative camber by pushing the bottom of the wheel outward and weight slightly less than the stock F22/F3X control arms. This is the perfect upgrade for track and autocross cars that demand more negative front camber.

SKU: KTA287Benefit Note:Thesefront lower control arms (also know as “wishbone†by BMW) is a direct fit for the F80 M3, F82/F83 M4 and serves as a popular performance upgrade for the F22 2-Series and F3X 3/4-Series. Unlike standard arms that rely on soft rubber bushings, the M3/M4 wishbone features sealed inner and outer ball joints, providing superior precision, durability, and reduced deflection under load. The ball joint design allows the control arm to articulate freely with minimal resistance, delivering sharper steering response and more consistent suspension geometry. When installed on F22 and F3X models, this arm increases negative front camber by approximately 0.5 degrees by pushing the lower portion of the wheel outward, while also being slightly lighter than the factory control arm.
This makes it an ideal upgrade for track and autocross applications, improving front-end grip, turn-in, and overall handling without compromising reliability.
SKU: KTA365Benefit Note: Most would agree that the time and stress to remove and replace bushings and ball joints to suspension arms can be hard to justify. Making up press tools and damaging arms are just two of the problems one can endure. Why put yourself through it when you can purchase complete arms, fitted with market leading Whiteline synthetic elastomer bushings.
