Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-6940
Locate and position your BMW's front wheel with the Beck/Arnley control arm and ball joint assembly (P/N 102-7746), a front left lower unit engineered as a direct replacement for OE applications across foreign nameplates. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2012-2018 BMW 640i, 2013-2018 BMW 640i Gran Coupe and 2012-2018 BMW 650i. The lower control arm links the chassis to the steering knuckle through its integrated ball joint, keeping the front suspension located and allowing the wheel to travel and steer.
Signs the original may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the front suspension, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear — diagnose the cause first, and if a worn arm or ball joint is at fault, this assembly replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles it fits.
