Ball Joint Lower Outer Fits BMW 3 Series E36, Z3 11/90 On LHS/RHS BJ1178 - Selby
Keep your BMW handling with the precision and stability it was engineered for with the Selby BJ1178 Front Lower Outer Ball Joint, designed to suit BMW 3 Series E36 and BMW Z3 models from 11/1990 onward. As a crucial suspension link between the lower control arm and steering knuckle, this ball joint ensures correct front-end geometry, predictable cornering, and sharp steering response vital for vehicles known for their sporty dynamics and rear-wheel-drive balance.
Over time, outer ball joints can wear due to constant load, steering articulation and road vibration. Symptoms such as clunking noises, vague steering, vibration through the wheel, or uneven tyre wear are common indicators of failure. The Selby BJ1178 addresses these issues with a heavy-duty forged steel housing, hardened ball stud, and a precision-machined bearing seat, delivering exceptional durability and smooth articulation even under spirited driving. Its sealed, pre-lubricated design prevents grease loss while keeping out water, dust and contaminants providing long-life, maintenance-free reliability suited to both daily driving and enthusiast use.
Designed to meet OEM specifications, this ball joint installs as a direct bolt-on replacement on both left- and right-hand sides (LHS/RHS) with no modifications needed. Trusted by European specialists and BMW owners Australia-wide, Selby suspension components are known for their engineering accuracy, durability and dependable long-term performance. Whether your E36 or Z3 is a weekend track toy, a daily commuter or a well-maintained classic, the BJ1178 restores crisp, stable and confident front-end handling.
