What Does the Front Wishbone Control Arm Do?
The front wishbone is a major suspension component connecting the wheel assembly to the vehicle chassis. It allows controlled suspension movement while maintaining the position and geometry of the front wheel.
Together with the ball joint, bushes, strut and steering components, the control arm helps maintain accurate wheel alignment and predictable steering during braking, cornering and driving over uneven surfaces.
Why Do Porsche 964 Control Arms Need Replacing?
On the Porsche 964, deterioration of the control arm bushings is a common age-related issue. The rubber can deteriorate regardless of mileage, allowing unwanted movement within the suspension.
Replacement may also be required because of:
Worn or deteriorated control arm bushes Corrosion Accident or impact damage Distorted suspension geometry Damage around the ball joint mounting Previous poor-quality suspension repairsBecause these replacement wishbones are supplied with bushings installed, they provide a straightforward solution where complete arm replacement is preferable to rebuilding the original component.
When Should It Be Replaced?
Typical signs of control arm or bushing wear can include:
Clunking or knocking over bumps Loose or vague steering Steering wheel vibration Uneven tyre wear Vehicle wandering or pulling Excessive movement at the suspension arm Difficulty maintaining correct wheel alignmentThese symptoms can also be caused by other suspension or steering components, so the complete front suspension should be inspected before replacement.

Checks During Replacement
When replacing the wishbone, also inspect:
Front ball joint Opposite control arm and bushings Anti-roll bar components Steering track rods Front dampers and top mounts Wheel bearings Suspension mounting points Associated bolts and fastenersA wheel alignment should be checked after suspension control arm replacement to ensure the front suspension geometry is correctly set.

High Density front control arm bushings can eliminate vibration often caused by aging OEM units, and better maintain steering feel under heavy acceleration and braking. These bushings replace the foreword bushing in the front control arm of 993s and 964s. Featuring a 25% increase in durometer, our units reduce suspension deflection under load resulting in a crisper and more direct steering feel. Street and track cars owners alike will enjoy a more planted and precise front end.

This kit contains the bushes for ONE wishbone / control arm
The OE Match front wishbone bush kit is a suspension repair component designed for Porsche 911 (964) and Porsche 911 (993) models. This kit provides the replacement rubber bushings for one front wishbone (control arm), allowing worn suspension bushes to be replaced without changing the entire control arm assembly.
Fits:
Porsche 964 1989 - 1994 (not RS)
Porsche 993 (not RS)
Front wishbones (also known as control arms) connect the suspension hub to the chassis and allow controlled movement of the front wheels during suspension travel. Rubber bushings are fitted inside the wishbone mounting points to isolate vibration and allow flexible movement between suspension components.
This OE Match kit contains the bushings required for one front control arm, making it an ideal solution for repairing worn or deteriorated suspension mounts while keeping the original wishbone.
The bushings act as flexible mounting points between the wishbone and the chassis. They absorb road vibrations and maintain the correct suspension geometry as the vehicle moves over uneven surfaces.
Replacing worn bushings restores proper suspension articulation, improves steering response and eliminates excessive movement in the front suspension.
Function
• Suspension Articulation: Allows controlled movement of the front wishbone
• Vibration Isolation: Rubber bushings absorb road shocks and vibrations
• Geometry Stability: Maintains correct suspension alignment and steering precision
• Repair Solution: Enables wishbone refurbishment without replacing the full arm
Front suspension bushings are constantly subjected to road impacts, braking forces and suspension movement. Over time the rubber can harden, crack or deteriorate, causing excessive play in the suspension. This may lead to poor steering response, uneven tyre wear and knocking noises. Replacing worn bushings restores proper suspension geometry and improves vehicle handling and ride comfort.
Consider replacing the wishbone bushings if you notice:
• Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension
• Excessive play in the front control arms
• Uneven tyre wear or alignment issues
• Cracked or deteriorated rubber bushings

Front Suspension Wear and Replacement
On the Porsche 964, common failure points in the front suspension include the control arm bushings and ball joints. As these components wear, you may notice clunking over bumps, loose or vague steering, uneven tire wear, or steering wheel vibration. Because the front suspension system is highly interconnected, wear in one part often accelerates the deterioration of other components.
To address this, we’ve developed a complete wishbone control arm & ball joints kit designed to restore handling, performance, and safety. This kit includes new front control arms and ball joints, ensuring a comprehensive solution rather than piecemeal repairs.

Why Control Arms Matter
Control arms serve as a critical link between the suspension and the subframe. Their hinged design allows the suspension to articulate as the vehicle absorbs bumps or navigates turns. On vehicles with independent suspension, like the 964, multiple arms and connection points contribute to better ride comfort and stability.
As bushings and joints within a control arm wear out, the suspension can begin to feel loose or unstable. While some designs allow individual components to be serviced, many control arms require complete replacement to restore proper function.
Symptoms of Control Arm Failure
Signs that your control arms may need replacement include:
- Excessive play where the arms connect to the subframe or knuckle
- Clunking or knocking noises from the suspension
- Uneven tire wear
- Difficulty achieving proper wheel alignment
- Steering wheel vibration at highway speeds
- Wandering or pulling sensation through the steering wheel
