Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:102-8199
Steady your BMW's front end with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly 102-7797. This front lower control arm ships with the ball joint already installed, so it locates the front wheel, controls suspension travel, and provides a steering pivot in one unit. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006 BMW 325XI, 2007-2008 BMW 328XI, 2007-2008 BMW 335XI, 2006 BMW 330XI, 2009-2013 BMW 328I XDRIVE, 2009-2013 BMW 335I XDRIVE, and 2013-2015 BMW X1 — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your engine.
Worn control-arm bushings or a loose ball joint can bring on clunking over bumps during acceleration or braking, wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. If a failed arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Sold individually; many applications use one per side, so order accordingly and have an alignment performed after installation.
