Product Information

Referred to as a Rod by BMW

As your BMW ages many of its suspension components will need to be replaced. This control arm in particular is a common wear item on higher mileage BMW's and will need to be replaced if the outer ball joint or inner bushing have developed play.

Meyle HD parts feature redesigned components which are intended to address common wear and failure issues. This HD control arm features an all rubber inner bushing with extra bracing along with an all steel outer ball joint to ensure a longer service life.

Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly

Control arms are crucial link in a vehicle's suspension connecting the suspension to a vehicle's subframe. These pieces are usually hinged to allow for suspension to travel and articulate as the vehicle rides over obstructions in the road and while the vehicle turns. Many vehicles such as those with independent suspensions have multiple links and feature several connection points and arms to offer better ride quality and comfort.

As bushings and joints in a control arm begin to wear you may notice a looseness feel in your suspension. And while many arms have replaceable and serviceable individual components, many still require the replacement of the entire arm. Below are signs of when a replacement control arm may be needed:

Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint Assembly Failure Symptoms
  • Play in suspension joints where these arms meet the subframe and/or knuckle
  • Buckling noise emanating from the suspension
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Inability to properly align vehicle
  • Shutter or vibration coming from the steering wheel at highway speed
  • Wandering or pulling sensation from side to side felt on the steering wheel

About Meyle HD

Meyle High Durability

MEYLE HD products are technically superior to the OE part, whilst the reinforced and optimized design and high-quality materials make them more durable and reliable. As a result, they simply last longer and often outperform OEM parts.

The MEYLE HD brand is a subsidiary of Wulf Gaertner, a firm established in 1958 that at the time just exported and traded original equipment spare parts on a small scale. Today Meyle offers over 17,000 top-grade automotive spare parts including the "MEYLE HD" line, not to be mistaken for the "Meyle" line. While Meyle is a quality aftermarket parts option, Meyle HD goes further than the original OEM part by determining the root cause of failure and improving the design to make it more durable. Whether they increase the size of a ball joint, re-design its socket, or add in high performance synthetic grease, you can be sure that Meyle has done their due diligence to improve the replacement components for your European Vehicle.
