Help your front suspension ride smoothly and track straight with the Dorman control arm with ball joint, part number 522-888, a direct replacement for the 2011-2017 BMW X3 and 2015-2018 BMW X4. This Dorman lower control arm fits the front right lower rearward position and is designed to replace the original assembly on the listed applications.

  • Direct replacement: Built to take the place of the factory assembly on the listed BMW applications.
  • Ready to install: Each assembly arrives with the ball joint and bushings pre-installed, saving time and labor.
  • Tested engineering: Put through Dorman's industry-leading evaluation process, which is intended to deliver a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.

As a Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly, it links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis. The arm lets the suspension travel up and down, and the ball joint gives the steering a pivot point. Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and cracked or worn bushings. If a worn control arm or ball joint is the cause, this assembly replaces both in one piece. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details for your vehicle.

It links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's chassis. The arm lets the suspension move up and down, and the ball joint gives the steering a pivot point.

What comes pre-installed on this assembly?

Each assembly includes a pre-installed ball joint and bushings. They don't need to be pressed in separately, which saves time and labor.

What are signs the control arm may need replacing?
