BMW 5/6/7 Series – Suspension Arms
– One Size Fits All
T
he latest BMW 5/6/7
Series models can have
any one of three front
upper suspension arms
fitted as standard, depending
on the camber specification of
each model.
It’s common for the ball joint to
be one of the first components
to fail on any suspension due to
wear and tear. The Ball joint on
the Fx 5 Series, Fx 6 Series and
F01 7 Series OE arms are non-
removable, the customer must
replace the complete arm to
remedy a ball joint failure.
The only physical difference
between the three arms is the
ball joint position, so Meyle have
developed a suspension arm
and ball joint combination which
can be adjusted to replace
any of the these arms.
This effectively reduces repair
time and costs since the vehicle
doesn’t need to be inspected
to verify the camber setting
before placing an order, and the
ball joint can now be replaced
independently from the
complete arm in the future.
The Meyle ball joint (617 11 0210)
and suspension arm (615 11 1510)
must be supplied as a set as
they are designed to work
together, so please advise your
customer of this or you are likely
to receive the arm or ball joint
back for credit!
Fitting instructions are included
with the products but if required,
they can also be found using the
link next to the part number on
Topcat.
