Keep your BMW's front end tracking true with the LEMFORDER control arm 1308702, the front right rearward suspension control arm that locates the wheel and lets it move through its travel while pivoting on its bushings and ball joint. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2003 BMW 525I, 1997-2000 BMW 528I, and 2001-2003 BMW 530I — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
A worn control arm can show up as clunking over bumps, a wandering or loose feeling in the steering, or uneven front tire wear. If a failed arm is the cause, this replaces it. Replacing the matching arm on the opposite side at the same time helps keep the front suspension balanced. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque values, and whether any hardware may be reused.
