Delphi Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly P/N:TC6869
Help keep your BMW's front suspension located and tracking true with the Delphi control arm and ball joint assembly (TC286), a direct-fit replacement for the front left lower rearward position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1989-1990 BMW 525i, 1991-1993 BMW M5 and 1988-1999 BMW 750iL. The arm links the chassis to the steering knuckle, and its integrated ball joint lets the wheel pivot and travel while helping locate the wheel through its range of motion.
See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles that use this front left lower rearward arm. Worn control arms or ball joints may show up as clunking, steering wander, or uneven tire wear; if the original front left lower rearward arm is the cause, this replaces it.
