Product Details

The Dorman 524-529 is a front driver side lower rearward suspension control arm and ball joint assembly engineered as a direct OE replacement for select BMW models. Designed to restore proper suspension geometry, this assembly delivers confident handling, smooth ride quality, and long-term structural reliability.

Key Features:

  • Direct OE Replacement: Bolt-on fitment that directly replaces the original factory assembly on compatible vehicles
  • Complete Assembly: Includes pre-installed ball joint and bushings, reducing installation time and eliminating the need for a press or separate components
  • Industry-Leading Testing: Rigorously evaluated by Dorman's product and quality engineering team to ensure a smooth ride, directional stability, and agile handling
  • Corrosion Resistance: Additional protective coatings provide long-lasting rust and corrosion resistance for extended service life
  • Improved Design: Dorman engineers analyze original equipment failure modes and implement design improvements to reduce the likelihood of repeat failure

Control arm service life can vary widely—from as few as 30,000 miles to over 100,000 miles depending on driving conditions. Replacing a worn control arm assembly restores proper wheel alignment, eliminates clunking or pulling, and helps protect tires from premature wear. The Dorman 524-529 makes this repair straightforward with a complete, ready-to-install assembly.

Connection with Amazon is great

Great prices! Fast shipping on parts that were in stock! Parts that came factory direct took a few extra days longer. But couldn't beat the prices!

good

Found what I was searching for easily.

Great Prices! Affordable Shipping! Happy so Far!

You can tell customer service is important to this company. Not only were the prices lower than other places but they communicate the status of the order and shipping very well. They obviously care what people think. I was suspicious of all the positive comments but decide to try them anyways. Very happy I did and definitely plan on buying from them again.

Web site easily navigated

Very fast shipping, always great prices.

Unbeliveable customer service and super fast shipping. I had a question about my order and I was able to use the online chat function to instantly connect with a customer service agent that was quick to answer all my questions regarding my order. I am very pleased with the level of service I received not to mention the great price they offered on the item I purchased. I will be sure to continue doing business with Autoplicity for my automotive needs. Thanks so much. A+

Good price and very fast shipping.
