Need help with part

[RDM3]

I need the left and right thrust arms, I tried www.autopartswarehouse.com and they don't have it.

Any suggestions of other places online I can check?

I also need the thrust arm bushin kit

I got the lower left control arm (Bilstein) through the site above paid $88, shop wanted $263, non BMW shop.

If you find the part number from www.realoem.com , and search on the www.pelicanparts.com site im sure you'll find it there.

Thanks, I don't have the part numbers I will have to get them, I have been searching with no luck for a "thrust arm" though

[ekvals]

Not sure what that is.. Where on the car is it located.?

Use Realoem to look at the schematics. You'll find everything you need. Much better then searching for "thrust arm."

Got it..

Can you see it on this picture.? http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...21&hg=31&fg=05



This is from a 2001 e53.. If you see it, just use the number labeled and find it in the list below.

Nevermind .. I see now.

Is this the same as the control arm/wishbone (#10 in ekvals link above)? If so, here's a thread that has part numbers and a DIY link.

Thanks, I called BMW in California they said the thrust arm is the wishbone, strut tensioner or tension strut, all the same thing. The thrust arm bushing kit is a Control arm Bushing.
