Key Features

• Suspension control arm bushing for front lower forward mounting positions

Detailed Description

This Corteco suspension control arm bushing is used in the front suspension to support the tension strut and maintain the correct relationship between the control arm and chassis. On BMW X5 and BMW X6 models, worn bushings can contribute to looseness, uneven tire wear, steering vibration, and imprecise front-end response. Part number 49371538 is listed for multiple BMW X5 and BMW X6 front positions, including front right lower forward and front left lower forward applications, with notes for vehicles without Active steering. This part cross-references Delphi TD1779W for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front suspension clunking or knocking from worn bushings
• Excessive play in the control arm or tension strut mounting point
• Steering wander or reduced front-end stability
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension movement
• Vibration or harshness transmitted through the front suspension
