Beck/Arnley Suspension Control Arm P/N:102-8163
Keep your BMW's front suspension located and controlled with the Beck/Arnley control arm 102-8397, a direct-fit replacement for the front right lower rearward position. It drops in on the 2018-2020 BMW 530E, 2017-2024 BMW 530I xDrive, 2018 BMW 540d xDrive, and 2017-2023 BMW 540i xDrive — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
The control arm connects the steering knuckle to the vehicle frame, locating the wheel through the suspension's travel while its bushings pivot to soak up road inputs. Worn arms or bushings can show up as clunking over uneven pavement, imprecise steering, or uneven tire wear; if a failed arm is the cause, this replaces it.
Application-specific for this vehicle.
