FAQs

Is this control arm compatible with all BMW models?

No, this control arm is designed for specific BMW models. Please verify compatibility using the provided OE/OEM numbers or consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic.

Does this part come with a ball joint or bushings?

The product description indicates it is a track control arm. Typically, these are sold as complete units including bushings, but the inclusion of a ball joint would need to be confirmed with the specific product listing details or by contacting the seller.

Can I install this myself?

Installation of suspension components like control arms requires specialized tools and mechanical knowledge. It is strongly recommended to have this part installed by a qualified professional mechanic to ensure safety and proper function.

What does 'Front, Right, Lower' fitting position mean?

This indicates the arm is designed for the front axle of your vehicle, on the right-hand side, and connects the lower part of the suspension system.

What is the material of this control arm?

This control arm is made from Aluminium.

Why is a wheel alignment necessary after installation?

Replacing a control arm affects the vehicle's suspension geometry. A wheel alignment resets the angles of your wheels to ensure they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground, which is crucial for proper handling, tire wear, and safety.

Is this a genuine Lemforder part?

Yes, the product description states it is a 'Genuine Lemforder' part, manufactured to German Original Equipment (OE) quality.

What is the purpose of a track control arm?

The track control arm is a vital link in a vehicle's suspension system. It connects the chassis to the wheel hub assembly, allowing the suspension to move up and down while controlling the wheel's position and movement in response to steering and road conditions.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle pulls to one side after installation.

This typically indicates that a wheel alignment is needed. Schedule an alignment service with a qualified mechanic immediately.

New clicking or clunking noise from the front suspension.

Ensure all mounting bolts are tightened to the correct torque specifications. Check if the control arm is making contact with other components or if the bushings are properly seated. Re-check compatibility and installation instructions.

Steering feels loose or imprecise.

Verify that the control arm is securely fastened and that no other suspension components are worn or damaged. A post-installation alignment is crucial for restoring steering precision.

Premature tire wear.

This is a strong indicator of misaligned wheels. A wheel alignment is required after the control arm replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup & Installation:

  • Removal: Disconnect the old control arm from the chassis and the steering knuckle. Note the orientation of the old part.
  • Installation: Attach the new Lemforder arm, ensuring it is correctly oriented. Secure all bolts and nuts according to the manufacturer's specifications. It is essential to install in connection with part number `17978 01` as indicated.
  • Post-Installation: A wheel alignment is mandatory after replacing any suspension component like a control arm to ensure proper tire wear and vehicle handling.

This control arm is specifically designed for certain BMW models. To confirm compatibility, cross-reference the Part Manufacturer Number (`25368 01`), Alternative Part Number (`616110365`), or the OE/OEM Numbers listed: `BMW-1094466`, `BMW-1096986`, `BMW-2343352`, `BMW-2343358`, `BMW-6750224`, `TBA-31126758520`, `BMW-31126777852`, `31 12 2 282 122`, `2 282 122`, `31 12 2 341 828`, `2 341 828` with your vehicle's existing parts or manufacturer specifications.

Care Instructions:

As a component of the suspension system, the track control arm requires no regular user maintenance. However, it is good practice to have the suspension system inspected periodically by a qualified mechanic. This inspection should include checking for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness in the control arm and its associated bushings and ball joints. Keep the area around the suspension components clean to prevent premature wear of rubber boots and bushings.
