Help keep your BMW's front wheel properly located with the LEMFORDER control arm 1308602, a direct-fit replacement for the front left rearward position on the 2001-2003 BMW 525i, 1997-2000 BMW 528i, and 2001-2003 BMW 530i. A control arm links the chassis to the steering knuckle, locating the wheel and letting it travel up and down while helping keep the alignment angles in check.
If a worn original arm — with deteriorated bushings or excessive play — is the cause of clunking over bumps, imprecise steering, or uneven tire wear, this unit replaces the failed component. Sold individually — confirm the position and quantity your vehicle needs in the Buyer's Guide tab, which also lists the engine applications for these cars.
