Product Details

This Mevotech lateral arm is specified for rear upper forward suspension use on select BMW 3 Series and X1 models. The fixed-length, non-adjustable design supports consistent suspension geometry, while the corrosion-resistant finish helps protect the arm in demanding underbody conditions. If you are replacing a worn rear upper forward arm on a BMW 325i, 328i, 335i, or X1, CMS101002 provides a direct-fit service part reference for the listed applications.

This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 521-338 and Delphi TC1918 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Rear suspension noise over bumps or rough pavement
• Excessive play in the rear upper forward control arm area
• Uneven rear tire wear related to suspension geometry
