Replace a worn front lower arm in one step with the Dorman control arm 520-941, a front left lower rearward arm that directly replaces the original assembly on the 2000-2006 BMW X5. It arrives with the ball joint and bushings already installed, so the repair goes in as a single unit instead of separate pieces.
A lower control arm links the wheel's steering knuckle to the vehicle body. The ball joint provides the pivot point, and the bushings cushion the arm's mounting points. Dorman OE Solutions put this part through its evaluation process to target a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable handling.
- Direct replacement: designed to take the place of the original assembly on specific vehicle applications.
- Complete repair: the ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, which saves time and labor.
- Quality engineering: put through Dorman's industry-leading testing, aimed at a smooth, stable and safe ride.
- Corrosion protection: additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and play in the ball joint. If a worn arm, ball joint or bushing is the cause, this Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly replaces all three together. This is the left-side arm. When the right side is also worn, replacing both sides together is recommended, and a wheel alignment check after installation is good practice. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and trim details.
