2015 X5 front control arms parts

[Daniel Villalobos]

Are Moog parts a good option for replacement for OEP? I need to replace the front control arm with ball joint but the dealer wants to charge me $950!  
 

Thank you.

Hi Daniel

Welcome to the Forum

Seems your Dealer over there are just like ours !! I would say as a recognized parts supplier that you should be OK with MOOG. 

Dealers do tend to have an arrogance at times after replacing the control arms twice (my 4.6is is 17 years young) I replaced the control arm bushes with Powerflex Poly Bushes.

My car was in the Dealer for the Airbag recall the Service Manager came to me and said "you do know your car is fitted with non standard parts which may compromise your safety" I asked him what the service life was of OEM parts against the Poly Bushes. He admitted he had no idea, so I asked him why M sport use Poly Bushes in their competition cars. He walked away and brought my car to reception. 

Enjoy your X5
