What It Helps Repair

• Front-end looseness or wandering on BMW 528i, 535i, 550i, and M5 models
• Clunking or knocking from a worn lower forward control arm
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry changes
• Steering pull or reduced directional stability
• Excess play from deteriorated bushings or ball joint wear

Installation Notes

Confirm the front left lower forward position before installation and verify the arm matches the vehicle’s suspension layout. The recommended special tool part number is V99-1020. Because this control arm is supplied with bearing(s) and uses a rubber-metal mount, final tightening should be performed at normal ride height to help preserve bushing life and suspension alignment.

This part cross-references Delphi TC1390 and MOOG Chassis Products RK620125 for the same application.
