Detailed Description

Vaico V20-7169 is a front left lower rearward control arm engineered for BMW suspension service where the original arm has wear at the bushings, bearing points, or ball joint interface. The aluminium arm measures 365 mm in length, 105 mm in height, and 65 mm in width, and uses a rubber-metal mounting design to help maintain suspension articulation and mounting stability. This part number is listed for 2004-2010 BMW 525i, 530i, 545i, 528i, 535i, 550i, and M5 applications in the front left lower rearward position, including 2006 BMW models noted through 03/2006 and 2007 model-year coverage for select 5 Series variants. This part cross-references Delphi TC1392 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front-end clunking or looseness from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry changes
• Steering wander or reduced directional stability
• Vibration or harshness from deteriorated mounting points
• Suspension play at the front left lower rearward arm location
