Front Left Tension Strut, OEM - E60 525xi/528xi/530xi/535xi

This is the front left upper control arm used on 2006-2010 E60/E61 525xi/528xi/530xi/535xi xDrive models. It's also known as a thrust arm or a tension strut. Left = driver's side. The inner bushing is a fluid-filled bushing that can leak or evaporate and leave a spongy and sloppy front suspension. This new front arm includes new hydro-filled bushings. On the Xi model the outer ball joint is sold separately (see below).

This is an OEM E60 Xi tension strut manufactured by TRW - the original supplier to BMW for this part, as well as many other suspension arms. 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.
