Detailed Description

Febi 12528 is a front left lower suspension control arm built from aluminium for BMW applications that call for this specific suspension arm type. The fitment list includes 2006-2009 BMW Z4 front left lower, 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci front left, 2001-2006 BMW 330Ci front left, and multiple E46-era 3 Series applications such as 320i, 325i, 330i, 323i, 328i, and 318i. This part number 12528 is also listed for vehicles with standard suspension or standard chassis, depending on the model.

The febi product line is used for direct replacement suspension components, and this control arm follows that approach with model-specific fitment and material details called out in the catalog data. For BMW 325Ci, BMW 330Ci, and BMW Z4 front-left applications, the aluminium construction is the key identifying attribute for correct selection.

What It Is Used For

• Front-end looseness or instability from a worn control arm
• Clunking or knocking from the front left suspension
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry wear
• Steering pull or imprecise road feel linked to a worn arm
• Restoring proper suspension support on BMW front-left lower positions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and suspension configuration before ordering. Some listed applications specify standard suspension or standard chassis, and some notes indicate the arm is supplied without bush, with joint and lock nut. Compare the original part number and mounting position before installation to confirm the correct BMW front-left lower control arm.
