The assembly uses a steel casting\/forged construction, a machined ball joint mounting type, and a threaded ball joint stud with a 14 mm ball joint thread diameter. It is pre-greased and includes a grease fitting, while the ball joint is already installed for a more complete replacement. Dorman 524-852 is a practical OE-style solution for restoring directional stability, smooth ride quality, and predictable suspension dynamics on the specified BMW X5 and BMW X6 fitments. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products RK622957 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClunking or looseness from a worn lower control arm assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven steering response or wandering at the front end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuspension play caused by a failing ball joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRide instability from damaged control arm components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront suspension noise during braking, turning, or road impacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify vehicle fitment by year, model, and front right lower rearward position before installation. Inspect adjacent suspension components, bushings, and mounting points for wear or damage during service. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or replace fasteners as required by the vehicle service procedure. A professional alignment is recommended after control arm replacement to help restore proper suspension geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process for this assembly to support proper fit, ride quality, and suspension behavior on the listed BMW applications.
