Product Details

• Article Number: 273C1415 — Ridex suspension control arm for the front-left position. A key structural link in the BMW X3 F25 front multi-link suspension system, responsible for locating the wheel and transferring cornering loads to the subframe.
• Control / Trailing Arm Type: Control Arm — the primary lateral suspension link that holds the wheel hub in position relative to the chassis. Not a trailing arm, strut, or tie rod.
• Material: Cast Steel — forged/cast steel construction for maximum strength and fatigue resistance. More robust than stamped steel or aluminium equivalents and better suited to Tanzania's rougher road conditions where pothole impacts can fracture lighter-duty parts.
• Cone Size: 18.2 mm — the diameter of the ball joint taper that engages the steering knuckle. Must match OEM specification exactly for proper fitment.
• Length: 425 mm — overall arm length from pivot point to ball joint. Critical geometry parameter that determines wheel alignment angles.
• Fitting Position: Front, Front Axle Left — installs on the driver's side (left-hand-drive convention) of the front suspension. Left and right are not interchangeable — verify axle side before ordering.
• Supplementary Info: With rubber mount — the inner pivot bushing is pre-installed and supplied complete. No need to press in bushings separately, saving shop time and ensuring correct assembly torque.
• Condition: New — factory-sealed in Ridex packaging.
• Manufacturer: RIDEX — AUTODOC's in-house OEM-equivalent aftermarket brand, produced in IATF 16949, ISO 26262, and VDA 6.3 certified factories. Known for offering original-equipment quality at a significantly lower price point than dealer parts.
• OEM Cross-References: BMW 31 10 6 787 673, BMW 6 787 673 — direct equivalents to these original BMW part numbers.
• Vehicle Compatibility: Designed for BMW X3 F25 (2010 onwards) and BMW X4 F26 (2014 onwards). Always verify against your vehicle's VIN or existing part number before purchasing.
• Replacement Recommendation: Typically replaced in pairs (left and right simultaneously) to maintain balanced suspension geometry and predictable handling. Recommended inspection every 40,000 km — common failure point on BMW X3 F25 due to worn rubber bushings causing clunking noises and imprecise steering.
