Front Right Upper Control Arm, Meyle HD - E53 X5 3.0i/4.4i/4.6is/4.8is

Front upper control arm for E53 X5 3.0i/4.4i/4.6is/4.8is uses firmer rubber bushings and oversized ball joints with low-friction materials to improve handling, sharpen steering feel, and prolong the service life of control arms and bushings. The upper control arm is also known as the thrust arm, tension strut, or radius rod.

Worn original E53 rubber bushings cause steering vibration, imprecise steering feel, and sloppy handling. To restore steering precision and crisp handling, replace the E53 control arm bushings at the first sign of wear. The Meyle HD bushing is a more solid rubber design that reduces deflection without giving up ride comfort. If you ever felt the original BMW ride and handling was too soft, the Meyle HD spec bushing will be a positive change.

This HD thrust arm is made by Meyle, a leading supplier of bushing upgrades for European vehicles. Meyle recognizes shortcomings in original bushing designs and makes improvements that have positive effects in handling, steering, and the longevity of the bushing. Meyle HD bushings come with a four year warranty.
