Detailed Description

Dorman 528-197 is engineered as a replacement lateral arm for rear lower suspension positions on select BMW and Mini models. The arm is built from steel with a stamped control arm design, fixed length, and bolt-on attachment points. Bushings are included, while the ball joint is not installed, matching the needs of applications that use a separate joint arrangement. This part cross-references Delphi TC3789 for the same application.

For BMW 118i, BMW X1, BMW X2, and Mini Cooper family applications, this lateral arm supports suspension geometry by replacing a worn or damaged original arm. The part number 528-197 is also referenced in interchange listings such as Mevotech Original Grade GS101453 and Mevotech Supreme CMS101453.

Common Issues It May Solve

  • Excessive rear suspension play from worn arm bushings.
  • Clunking or knocking from a damaged lateral arm.
  • Uneven tire wear caused by suspension alignment movement.
  • Handling instability from a fatigued rear lower arm.
  • Suspension noise after bushing deterioration.

Installation Notes

Verify rear lower fitment by year, make, and model before installation. This arm uses bolt-on attachment and does not include mounting hardware. Confirm the mounting hole diameter and stud thread diameter match the vehicle’s suspension points, and inspect adjacent bushings and fasteners during service. Professional alignment is recommended after suspension component replacement.

Quality Assurance

Dorman states this lateral arm is precision-engineered and rigorously tested for reliable OE replacement on specific vehicles. Part number 528-197 is built to standard replacement specifications for consistent suspension service.
