Positioned on the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"164\"\u003eLeft-Hand Side (Nearside)\u003c\/b\u003e, this forged aluminium arm is a vital component of the double-wishbone front suspension found on the G-series CLAR platform. It is engineered to provide the precise, weighted steering feel of the 5 Series while maintaining the high levels of cabin insulation and ride comfort expected in this segment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe most frequent wear item on this G-chassis arm is the large \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"63\"\u003eHydro-Bearing\u003c\/b\u003e. Due to the weight of the 5 Series, particularly in the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"133\"\u003e530e Hybrid\u003c\/b\u003e and the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"153\"\u003eLong Wheelbase (G38)\u003c\/b\u003e variants, these fluid-filled bushings are under constant stress. Over time, the internal fluid can leak or the rubber can perish, leading to a \"thumping\" sound when braking, steering wheel vibration at motorway speeds, and a noticeable decrease in \"on-centre\" stability. Replacing the entire unit ensures that both the hydro-bushing and the outer ball joint are renewed to factory specifications, restoring the vehicle's refined handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVehicle Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e This control arm is designed for the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"60\"\u003eG-series CLAR\u003c\/b\u003e executive platform:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e5 Series Sedan (G30):\u003c\/b\u003e 2017–2023 (520i, 530i, 540i, M550i, 530e, 520d, 530d)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Front Axle, Upper Forward (Left)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e High-Strength Forged Aluminium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/b\u003e High-Damping Hydro-Bushing and Ball Joint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MYTY Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48199106822383,"sku":"31106861161","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/7183\/5631\/files\/2019-G30-530i-Front-Control-Arm-Left.png?v=1774521739","url":"https:\/\/myty.co.za\/products\/front-lower-control-arm-lh-bmw-5-series-g30-17-23","provider":"MYTY Auto Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
