Product Description

This CONTROL ARM BUSH FRONT AXLE LOWER REAR LH & RH from Arrowhead is designed to support the suspension and steering systems on select BMW models. Fitted to the lower rear position of the front axle, this bushing absorbs road shocks and vibrations, helping to maintain proper alignment and handling. Its robust metal and rubber construction provides essential flexibility while keeping the control arm securely in place.

This part is compatible with various BMW models. It is important to check the specific fitment for your model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct installation. The bushing is suitable for both left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) sides of the front axle lower rear position.

Common symptoms of a worn control arm bush include clunking noises from the suspension, uneven tyre wear, poor handling, steering vibration, and instability during braking or cornering. You may also notice excessive play in the steering or a loose feeling when driving over bumps.

Replace the control arm bush when you detect any of these symptoms or during routine suspension inspections. Timely replacement helps restore the vehicle's handling characteristics and prevents further suspension or tyre damage.
