Front Left Upper Control Arm without Bushing (Thrust Rod) - E28, E24

The Left Thrust Rod (left upper control arm) on your E24 6-Series or E28 5-Series is designed to incorporates a large, soft bushing (not included) that which removes vibration normally transmitted through the steering system while still doing a decent job at controlling loads from the tire. 

Please note: This upper control arm is for all 1982-1988 5 series, and 6 series from 1983 through 1989. Not for 6 series before the 1983 model year. 

This left upper control arm comes without a bushing, so bushings must be purchased separately. For even better handling and performance, with minimal impact on ride comfort, we recommend Powerflex polyurethane bushings as an upgrade.
