Restore tight, predictable steering and quiet suspension travel with the Mevotech Supreme control arm (CMS10169), a front right lower forward control arm and ball joint assembly built as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2003 BMW 540i and 2000-2003 BMW M5. The arm locates the wheel and manages suspension motion while the integrated ball joint provides the articulation the steering and travel need.
Signs a worn arm or ball joint may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause first; if a failed control arm or ball joint is behind it, this assembly replaces both in one part.
