Market analysis
Why does the BMW X3 control arm cost more?
A used BMW X3 control arm carries a median asking price of $122, which is 34% higher than the Chrysler 300 at $80. Supply also plays a role: Chrysler 300 has 3,436 priced listings versus 1,315 for BMW X3, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 75% of Chrysler 300 listings compared to 53% for the BMW X3, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Chrysler 300 side.
The Chrysler 300 average ($113) runs 41% above its median ($80), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the BMW X3 (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Chrysler 300 (2015–2023), so the BMW X3 data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 56% of Chrysler 300 control arm listings include a posted price (3,436 of 6,150 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Chrysler 300 is 22% cheaper ($100 vs $128) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
The Chrysler 300 has 11 known trim variants compared to 4 for the BMW X3, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Chrysler 300.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used control arm
- Inspect the arm for subtle bends, hairline cracks, or deep rust scale, comparing geometry carefully against your original unit.
- Examine the rubber bushings for dry rot, tearing, or separation from the metal casing, as worn bushings require pressing out before installation.
- Check integrated ball joints for boot tears and axial play; if non-replaceable, factor in the cost of a unit with a fresh ball joint.
- Verify material type (cast iron, stamped steel, or aluminum) and sway bar link mounting location, which can vary across sub-models and suspension packages.
