Help bring back a steady, controlled feel to the front end with this Dorman control arm, part number 521-163, built for the 2007-2013 BMW X5 and 2008-2014 BMW X6. It directly replaces the original assembly in the front left lower rearward position on the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
This Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly links the wheel-end to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the suspension travel up and down while helping hold the wheel in its intended position. Dorman puts it through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Direct replacement: Designed to take the place of the original assembly on the listed BMW applications.
- Pre-installed ball joint and bushings: Each assembly arrives with the ball joint and bushings already in place, which saves time and labor.
- Quality engineering: Went through industry-leading testing intended to deliver a smooth, stable and safe ride.
- Corrosion protection: Additional coatings help the assembly resist rust and corrosion.
Signs that this arm or its ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn control arm is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling, and a wheel alignment is generally advised after installation.
