Beck/Arnley Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link P/N:101-8449
Tighten up a sloppy sway bar connection with the Beck/Arnley sway bar link (P/N 101-7949), a front right link that ties the stabilizer bar to the suspension so the bar can resist body roll through corners. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011 BMW 1 SERIES M and 2008-2013 BMW M3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Signs the original link may need replacing include clunking or rattling over bumps from the front suspension, loose or vague handling, and worn or separated link boots. Because links wear as a pair, inspect the opposite side and consider replacing both for balanced handling.
