So I noticed that my front passenger wheel wobbles pretty bad when taking an aggressive left turn, and when I saw aggressive I mean, like taking a left at a stop light, so back in May, I replaced the controls with the M3 control arms, I also replaces the sway bar bushings, sway bar links, tie rods, struts, bearing plates, bump stops, pads, rotors, 2 months ago I also replaced both front bearings, and I've also replaced the rim, tonight in fact, that suspension was replaced with all OEM parts, even the wheel speed sensors are new (accidentally toasted one), anyway, I also had new tires put on the front and balanced and an alignment done, I've gone over that whole suspension, but the wheel wobble persists, so I jacked it up this evening, and started tightening, inspecting, checking, you name it, air pressure was even checked, nominal, but the passable front strut is where the issue lays I believe, I'm getting about 1/4" - 1/2" of side to side play, like from the 3 o'clock to the 9 o'clock direction, towards the engine and away from the engine. Does anyone know what could cause this? And if so, what do I need to do to fix it. Thank you.

did you do the inner tie rod also, next best would try an alignment shop so you can look underneath while someone turns the wheel.

I did replace both tie rods, and also the control arms, I also had the front end jacked up off the ground and was able to grab ahold of the wheel and shake it back and forth about 1/4" to 1/2", the wiggle looked like it was coming from the strut itself. I think I will take it over to an alignment shop like you suggested and have them take a look

1. OP said he just replaced the control arms.

2. That's not even an E90 suspension.

Picture was just for reference and there is no control arms on bmw, just trailing links.

I'm just going to cut to the chase here. You are an idiot.

Anyone with any experience working on E90 suspensions knows that when somebody refers collectively to the control arms, they are referring to the combination of the "wishbones", the smaller, fully transverse control arms, and the "tension struts", the larger, angled control arms.
