5/6/7/8/X5 Series Track Rods (Lower Control Arms)

The track (lower) arms on BMW 5, 6, 7, 8, and X5 series cars can become worn as early as 90k miles and will need to be replace to ensure the original driving characteristics of your BMW. The arm includes the inner rubber bushing and outer ball joint. If you are considering replacing the thrust (upper) control arm, we suggest taking a close look at this arm set as well before ordering.

We have 2 (some have 3*) different arm choices, "OEM" (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and "Aftermarket". "OEM" arms are typically from the manufacturer that made the parts that were on your car as it rolled out from the factory and "Aftermarket" arms are typically from east Asia and have a comparable quality that has increased considerably over the past few years. The "Aftermarket" alternative makes a great option if you're on a tight budget but still want a quality part.

We offer a Powerflex pre-pressed polyurethane bushing upgrade**. If you choose to have your arms pre-pressed with Powerflex urethane bushings, please check the box for each arm purchased and also purchase the Powerflex bushings from the listing below. The arms will come ready to install, pressed and lubricated. Checking the box only includes the press work; it does not include the bushings.

*E34 and E28 5 Series, and E32 7 Series have a OEM Steel and OEM Alloy option. The OEM Alloy options is half the weight of the OEM Steel option and suggested for performance driven vehicles. If you do not drive your vehicle enthusiastically yet still want the added quality of a OEM arm, the OEM Steel option will satisfy your needs.

**We currently do not have a Powerflex bushing option for the E65 7 Series, E60 5 Series, or E23 7 Series. These will come with factory-style rubber bushings.
