The CMS101473 lateral arm by Mevotech is engineered to maintain the alignment and stability of the suspension system in BMW X3 and X4 vehicles. Measuring 20.7 inches in length and 1.9 inches in width, this lateral arm fits precisely within the suspension assembly.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Mevotech CMS101473 lateral arm should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with BMW suspension systems. Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before removal of the old lateral arm. Verify the new part’s dimensions—20.7 inches length and 1.9 inches width—to confirm compatibility.
