Detailed Description

Mevotech CMS101648 is built for high-usage passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets, and working trucks, with in-house engineering focused on durability and performance. This front left lower rearward control arm assembly combines the arm, ball joint, bushings, and dust boot into one replacement unit, helping restore suspension geometry and steering response on BMW 330i, 330e, 430i, M340i, M440i, 230i, and M240i applications.

What It Helps Address

• Clunking or knocking from a worn front suspension joint
• Excessive play in the front left lower rearward suspension position
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn bushings or ball joint wear
• Loose or imprecise steering feel during cornering and braking
• Suspension noise from deteriorated rubber components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, model, and front left lower rearward position before installation. The assembly includes mounting hardware and a locking nut, and the pre-greased ball joint helps streamline service. Because this is a non-adjustable control arm, proper installation and torque procedures are important for correct suspension alignment and long-term performance.

Quality Assurance

Mevotech Supreme Parts are engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades for durability and performance. CMS101648 is built as a direct replacement suspension component for confirmed BMW fitments, including 2019-2025 BMW 330i and 2021-2025 BMW 430i applications in the front left lower rearward position.
