Front Right Lower Rearward Control Arm with Ball Joint - Passenger

In this review of the Front Right Lower Rearward Control Arm with Ball Joint, the bottom line is simple: this is a pragmatic OE-style replacement for BMW owners who need a direct-fit passenger-side lower rearward control arm without paying dealer prices. The reviewer found it suits routine suspension repairs and returns accurate steering geometry when installed correctly. For those who want a straightforward, vehicle-specific replacement that matches factory fitment and includes the ball joint, this component delivers predictable alignment results and an easier installation than modular aftermarket assemblies.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match the factory geometry so it installs without modification and helps restore correct wheel alignment.
• OE Replacement Assembly: Combines the control arm and ball joint into one unit, reducing installation steps and ensuring mating parts are compatible.
• Vehicle Specific: Clearly listed fitment for multiple 2012-2020 BMW 3 and 4 Series variants so buyers can check compatibility before purchase.
• Aftermarket References: Cross-referenced to common aftermarket numbers like 1027661 and 31126852992 so mechanics can confirm interchangeability.
• Passenger Side Lower Rearward: Purpose-built for the front right passenger lower rearward position, which simplifies ordering the correct side.

Who It's For

This part is aimed at DIYers and independent shops repairing suspension on compatible BMW 3 Series and 4 Series models from 2012 through 2020 who need a like-for-like replacement that restores handling without custom work. It is also useful for owners replacing a worn control arm and ball joint together to save labor versus swapping components separately.

Customers seeking an OEM-branded, heavy-duty performance upgrade or a lifetime warranty part should look elsewhere; durability received mixed feedback from buyers who noted it is not always as heavy-duty as original factory components. For standard street use and most repair scenarios this assembly is a practical, cost-effective choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct-fit design makes installation straightforward and helps maintain factory suspension geometry.
• Includes the ball joint pre-assembled, reducing installation complexity and alignment time.
• Good value for money compared with dealer-priced OE units, with several customers confirming fit and ease of installation.

Cons

• Durability feedback is mixed; some buyers report it is not as heavy-duty as original factory parts, so long-term heavy-duty use may be a concern.
