Detailed Description

The Vaico V20-0293-1 is a front left suspension control arm for BMW models that use the front left lower control arm position.

This part number is listed for 1999-2008 BMW applications, including BMW Z4 and 3 Series coupe and sedan variants.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 210064) for the same application. The V20-0293-1 is also referenced across multiple aftermarket interchange numbers, making it a practical replacement choice when servicing the front suspension on BMW Z4 and BMW 325Ci/330Ci platforms.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end looseness or wandering caused by worn control arm bushings or joints
• Uneven tire wear related to suspension geometry changes
• Clunking or knocking from the front left suspension area
• Steering pull or reduced directional stability
• Alignment issues after front suspension wear is diagnosed

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s front left lower position before ordering, and verify the vehicle equipment note for models without Xenon light where listed. Use the recommended special tool reference V99-1020 when required by the service procedure, and replace the paired side component V20-0294-1 if the opposite side also shows wear. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore correct suspension angles.
