Use this assembly when replacing a worn front suspension control arm on a BMW X5 or BMW X6 with hydraulic steering. Dorman 524-850 is engineered as a direct OE-style replacement and is cross-referenced to MOOG Chassis Products RK623280 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Front-end clunking or knocking from a worn ball joint or bushing
• Loose or inconsistent steering feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension wear
• Directional instability during braking or lane changes
• Excess movement in the front right lower forward suspension point

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm hydraulic steering configuration and front right lower forward placement before installation. Inspect adjacent suspension components, alignment angles, and fasteners during replacement. Because the ball joint is already installed and the assembly is pre-greased, service setup is simplified, but a professional wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
