Anti Roll Bar information

[nelsone30]

Did anyone has any description of anti roll bar for e30.......

 

[skar19]

its a bar that reduces body roll on a car..... :rofl: ... bro you have to a bit more specific. First of all there are stock ARB from other e30s and then you have performance ones like eibach, ireland engineering etc and then you have adjustable ARB.....they also have various thickness.

also..... i have towed this to the correct section


Please post in the correct section next time.

u mean the diameter or what..most e30's actually came with front and rear anti roll bar except for some countries the rears was left out...the rears onea has a two thickness 12mm and 14.5mm...in US all the model came with 12mm and other countries up to the 323i with 12mm and 14.5mm for the 325i. The fronts are 18mm up to 323i and 20/21mm for the 325i...I have a rear 12mm for sale..interested..upgrading to the 14.5mm...with 3.73 LSD..

i would believe so...anyway the M3 setup is similar to the 325iS with Mtec suspension with inverted Bilstein shocks and beefier ARBS but the setup is not replicable unless u have the front control arms of the M3's..they have droplinks attached to the struts

E30 M3's front ARB is only 18mm thick but the bar is linked to the strut housing and not to the control arm.

What's the difference between the M3 control arm with the non-M? AFAIK they are the same. Only the strut housing and the anti-roll bar links are different. not forgetting the M3 caster offset control arm bushes.

HMP !!! last time someone told me M3 control arm cannot replace the ball joint, have to replace the whole M3 control arm.... sigh.... naik kapal pirate...

 

[fabianyee]

There is also aluminum control arm for the E30 M3. That I guess can not replace the ball joints. Actually I also not sure whether all E30 M3 used the aluminum control arms.

as i recalled not all m3's were fitted with aluminium control arms..the only thing is aluminium is more susceptible to fatigue hence they need to be replaced more frequent...not sure if they yield better performance although most of the new BMW"S now comes with aluminium control arms..
