New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com https://trq.video/ia-1ASRU00068

This video shows you how to install new rear forward upper control arms from TRQ on your 2006-2010 BMW 550i. Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear.

Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 54 minutes

This repair was done on a 2008 BMW 550i Base 4.8L Sedan 4-Door RWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2006 BMW 550i
2007 BMW 550i
2008 BMW 550i
2009 BMW 550i
2010 BMW 550i
