Help keep your front suspension tracking steadily with this Dorman control arm, the Dorman - OE Solutions Control Arm with Ball Joint 524-526. It is a front lower forward arm that arrives with its ball joint and bushings already installed. It fits many BMW models, among them the 2010-2015 BMW X1, the 2009-2013 BMW 328i xDrive and the 2009-2013 BMW 335i xDrive. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The control arm links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. It lets the wheel travel up and down with the suspension while the ball joint provides the pivot point for steering. Each Dorman suspension control arm and ball joint assembly is designed to directly replace the original part in the front lower forward position.
- Direct replacement: Built to take the place of the original assembly on specific vehicle applications.
- Ready to install: The ball joint and bushings come pre-installed, which saves time and labor during the repair.
- Quality engineering: Put through industry-leading testing aimed at a smooth, stable ride with predictable dynamics.
- Corrosion protection: Additional coatings help resist rust and corrosion.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking over bumps, wandering or loose steering, uneven tire wear, and a worn or loose ball joint. If a worn control arm is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can produce similar symptoms.
