Detailed Description

Mevotech GS101470 is a premium OE replacement lateral arm for the rear upper suspension position on 2011-2017 BMW X3 and 2015-2018 BMW X4.

What It Helps Address

• Rear suspension looseness or instability
• Uneven tire wear related to worn rear upper linkage
• Clunking or knocking from the rear suspension
• Incorrect rear wheel alignment caused by worn arm bushings or link wear
• Loss of OE ride and handling feel on BMW X3 and BMW X4 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install GS101470 in the rear upper suspension position only on the listed BMW applications. Verify the existing arm length and mounting points before installation, and perform a wheel alignment after replacement to confirm rear suspension geometry. Because this arm is not adjustable, final alignment should be checked with the vehicle at normal ride height.
