Since its introduction in 2000, the BMW X5 had a reputation for comfort, performance and handling on-road and off, and durability. The comfort ride and road-gripping precision handling of the BMW X5 is due in large part to the precision engineered suspension system. The BMW X5 control arm is an integral and vital part of this suspension system.
Components located below the shocks - such as the wheels, hubs and axles - are held in place to the rest of the chassis by the BMW X5 control arm. Because it is built to withstand extreme driving conditions, the BMW X5 control arm is made of high-strength steel and aluminum.
Steel provides durability, while the aluminum allows the BMW X5 to respond more quickly on winding roads and off-road situations. The BMW X5 control arm affects your vehicle's handling and response, whether on the Autobahn or the Australian outback. While the BMW X5 is rugged and durable, it is not indestructible. If you hit a large rock or a curb at high speed or go over a dip too fast, you might start hearing a clunking noise in the front suspension. This may indicate damage to the control arm. If so, you'll want to to replace it as soon as possible. In any event, control arms should be replaced at least once every 100,000 miles.
