Product Details

The Genuine BMW 31-12-2-228-462 is an OE quality front lower control arm designed for BMW E36 M3 and Z3 M models. This right-side (passenger) control arm is a critical suspension component that connects the wheel assembly to the chassis, maintaining proper wheel alignment and handling characteristics during driving.

Key Features:

  • Genuine BMW OEM part manufactured to exact factory specifications
  • Includes integrated ball joint for complete replacement
  • Front lower position, right side (passenger side) fitment
  • Direct replacement for BMW part number 31122227914
  • Precision-engineered for proper fit and long-term reliability

Control arms endure significant stress from road impacts, potholes, and normal driving forces. Over time, the integrated ball joints and bushings wear out, leading to loose steering feel, clunking noises, and compromised handling. Since the ball joint is non-serviceable, replacement of the entire control arm is necessary when wear occurs. Professional installation is recommended, and suspension components should be replaced in pairs for optimal performance and safety.

Please Note: Mounting hardware and lock nuts are not included with this control arm and must be purchased separately. Proper torque specifications should be followed during installation.

Easy to order, excellent sale price with free ground shipping.

Exactly what I ordered. Delivery was on time. I already have them installed. I will order again for sure from this company.

Would be 5 star if package wasn't bent in shipping. However customer service and refund were prompt and courteous. Will recommend and shop with them again.

I found you guys via a Google search when I was looking for these storage totes that I as trying to match to the old Home Depot Workforce ones and I was very happy that you had them at a decent price with delivery. The online ordering was smooth, along with tracking and was surprised to get the email this morning asking if I received the order. That was a nice touch. Thanks again, Charlie

Great

my 1st order, and completely satisfied.

Ok

Very fast and easy item search and payment!

very easy ordering

For the over-the-winter garage storage of my 911, the Rail Ramps Flatstopper product has eliminated the need to move the car over the winter in order to avoid the tires developing flat spots.

wish you had this size in black

i dont like that i have to change half way through my order over to paypal

fast and easy

It was easy

Thank you

Smooth...

Very easy site to use plus the added bonus of the free buySafe guarantee.

Great pricing, but did take a while to ship. I believe this was due to the product being on backorder from the manufacturer.

My truck bed cover arrived today. Everything looks okay. Looking forward to installing it this weekend. <br> Thanks for the quick shipping.

Looked everywhere for a good price on Warn locking hubs, they were the best price around. Shipped right away.

Very good deal and simple buying experience.

Your prices for Metal Rescue were the best I could find and your shipping was fast, although I screwed up and ordered a quart when I though I ordered a gallon
