Front Left Tension Strut, OEM - F07 535i/550i, F01/F02 740i/750i/760Li

The Thrust Rod (upper control arm) on your F07 535i GT/550i GT and F01/F02 740i/750i and 760Li incorporates a large, soft bushing that is designed to remove all vibration normally transmitted through the steering system while still doing a decent job at controlling loads from the tire.

The soft, rubber bushing naturally wears prematurely, causing sloppy steering, poor tire wear, and jolting or instability during braking. The ball joint in the arm can also become worn and cause bad handling and wear, so we always recommend checking it along with the bushing and lower control arm (track rod) when diagnosing issues.

This is an OEM F01/F02 control arm manufactured by an original supplier to BMW for this part, as well as many other suspension components. As the OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.

Priced individually per control arm. Fits LEFT / DRIVER side.
