Beck/Arnley Suspension Stabilizer Bar Link P/N:101-8481
Silence rear-end clunks and keep the stabilizer bar tied to the suspension with the Beck/Arnley sway bar link 101-5731, a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2000 BMW 528I, 1997-2003 BMW 540I, 2000-2003 BMW M5, 2001-2003 BMW 525I, and 2001-2003 BMW 530I. This is the rear-position link, connecting the rear stabilizer bar to the suspension so body roll is controlled through corners; worn ball sockets are a common cause of knocking or rattling over bumps and vague handling — if a failed link is the source, this replaces it.
Beck/Arnley focuses on OE-quality parts for foreign nameplates, sourced through a trusted global network. Sold individually; replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling.
