Delphi Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:TC1493
Delphi TC1346 rear left upper control arm with ball joint for the 2000-2006 BMW X5 links the rear wheel to the body and pivots through its ball joint. This Delphi control arm is sold as a control arm and ball joint assembly, so the ball joint is part of the arm.
A clunk from the rear over bumps, uneven rear tire wear or a loose feel at the rear wheel can mean a worn control arm or ball joint, though worn bushings and other suspension parts can give similar symptoms. With the engine off, look the arm over for cracks or rust and the ball joint for visible damage before ordering.
This 2000-2006 BMW X5 control arm is a direct-fit replacement for the rear left upper rearward position, and the car takes one in this position. The rear left and rear right arms are normally replaced as a pair; this listing is one arm for the rear left, and the rear right is a separate part.
