Product Details
The Mevotech CMS101608 is a suspension control arm and ball joint assembly built for BMW i3 and BMW i3s front left lower applications. It is designed for 2014-2021 BMW i3, front left lower, 2018-2021 BMW i3s, front left lower, and 2022 BMW i3s, front left lower with engine designation XB4 and range extender. This part number, CMS101608, is a practical OE-style replacement for drivers addressing worn suspension components on compact electric and range-extended BMW platforms. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Repair Reasons
- Front-end clunking or looseness from worn ball joint components
- Uneven tire wear caused by suspension wear
- Steering wander or reduced road feel
- Cracked or deteriorated control arm bushings
- Corrosion-related replacement on aging BMW i3 suspension parts
Installation Notes
Confirm vehicle year, model, and front left lower position before installation. The assembly includes the ball joint, bushings, dust boot, mounting hardware, and locking nut, which helps streamline replacement work. Because the control arm is non-adjustable, alignment should be checked after installation. The threaded ball joint stud design should be matched to the original suspension layout on the BMW i3 or BMW i3s.
Quality Assurance
Mevotech Supreme parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades aimed at durability and performance in commercial, fleet, and passenger vehicle service. CMS101608 is built as a service-ready suspension replacement for demanding use on BMW i3 and BMW i3s applications.
