Beck/Arnley Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link P/N:101-8735
Quiet the front suspension and keep the stabilizer bar working with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link 101-7948, a front-left stabilizer end link that ties the front stabilizer (sway) bar to the suspension so the bar can resist body roll. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011 BMW 1 Series M and the 2008-2013 BMW M3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
A worn stabilizer bar link commonly announces itself with clunking or rattling from the front over bumps and vague, loose-feeling steering. If a failed link is the cause, this replaces it. Replacing the matching link on the opposite side at the same time is good practice for balanced handling.
