Product Information

Only for use with original style tension struts, will not work on replacement tension struts due to difference in ball joint size

Ball joints are a critical piece of your BMW's suspension. They allow for the suspension to articulate as the vehicle travels over the road. With age and high mileage ball joints can easily deteriorate which causes suspension noises as well as play affecting handling performance.

FCP recommends replacing ball joints in matched pairs for the best service life and performance.

Suspension Ball Joint

If there is play in the front suspension between the control arm and wheel spindle your ball joint will need to be replaced. This joint is a critical connection point between the wheel spindle and the lower control arm.

Questions & Answers

Question Posted by a customer
I just purchased a 2005 BMW X3, it has a bad balljoint. How do I know if the car has original or updated tension arms? The attached YouTube video just said the balljoints are different size but not how to tell which one that you have.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
You will need to identify if you have the original control arms on the vehicle. Check for part numbers or BMW markings on the arm. Contact customer service once you find them and they can clear it up for you.
