BMW X5 Front Control Arms Replacement DIY (2014-2018 BMW F15 X5 & F16 X6)

►If you are looking to bring some life back into the suspension on your BMW X5, front control arms are a great place to start. This 8-piece front control arm kit is designed to replace the front control arms and every associated ball joint and bushing on your BMW to bring back comfort and road feel. Over time, bushings and ball joints will begin to wear out causing play within your suspension. It's often recommended to replace the whole arm rather than just bushings for ease of installation. No more having to take off the control arm and visit a shop with a press to remove those stubborn bushings. Additionally, this kit comes with new Genuine BMW hardware to replace the one-time use bolts.

In this video, Gareth Foley, FCP Euro's BMW Catalog Manager, takes you through the process of replacing all of the front control arms on his very own BMW F15 X5.
