Help keep the front suspension composed and stable with the Dorman control arm 520-940. This front right lower forward control arm with ball joint is a direct replacement for the original equipment on the 1997-2003 BMW 540i, 1999-2000 BMW 540iT and 2000-2003 BMW M5. Engine details for each application are listed in the Buyer's Guide tab.
The arm links the wheel assembly to the chassis and lets the suspension travel up and down. Its integrated ball joint gives the steering knuckle a pivot point. Dorman puts the design through an industry-leading evaluation process aimed at a smooth ride, directional stability and predictable dynamics.
- Trustworthy replacement: Directly replaces the original assembly on the listed BMW applications.
- Complete repair: Arrives with the ball joint and bushings pre-installed, which saves time and labor at installation.
- Quality engineering: Put through industry-leading testing intended to deliver a smooth, stable and safe ride.
- Durably designed: Additional coatings help the arm resist rust and corrosion.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear and a worn ball joint or bushings. If the original arm is the cause, this assembly replaces it together with its ball joint and bushings. Control arms work as left and right pairs, so consider replacing both sides together for balanced handling. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and for wheel alignment after installation.
