Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm Bushing P/N:101-3968
Take the harshness out of the ride and keep the suspension precisely located with the Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm Bushing 101-7516. This front inner control arm bushing cushions the connection between the control arm and the chassis, helping to locate the suspension and isolate road vibration. It's an application-specific replacement for a wide range of BMW models, including the 2008-2013 128I and 135I, 2006-2011 323I, 2007-2013 328I and 335I, 2004-2007 525I and 530I, 2006-2010 550I, 650I, M5 and M6, and 2009-2016 Z4 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Over time a control arm bushing's rubber can harden, crack, or separate, allowing excess suspension movement, clunking or knocking over bumps, imprecise steering, and uneven tire wear. If a worn bushing is the cause, this replaces it — diagnose the suspension first, since other components can produce similar signs. Beck/Arnley develops its parts as direct replacements for foreign nameplate applications with attention to form, fit, and function. Sold individually; replacing bushings in matched pairs supports balanced handling.
