{"product_id":"bmw-ball-joint","title":"Original BMW Rear Upper Ball Joint for BMW 840Ci, 850Ci, 850CSi, and 850i (1991–1997)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Original BMW rear ball joint 33-32-1-137-819 connects the rear wheel carrier to the upper wishbone on the 1991–1997 BMW 840Ci, 850Ci, 850CSi, and 850i. Each E31 uses two of them, and this part is sold individually, so order two to cover both sides of the rear axle. BMW began production of this number in January 1990, and the joint weighs 252 g. A ball joint pairs a steel ball stud with a grease-filled socket, and a boot keeps the grease in and dirt out, letting the wheel carrier move with the suspension while holding the wheel in alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBMW applies this single number across every E31 engine: the M60 and M62 V8s in the 840 models, the M70 and M73 V12s in the 850Ci, and the S70 V12 in the 850CSi. That means a V8 coupe and a V12 coupe take the same rear upper joint, and there is no engine-specific version to sort out. The part described here is the rear upper wishbone joint only, so confirm the position against your repair before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 33-32-1-137-819\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: ball joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: rear wheel carrier to upper wishbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity per car: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 252 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: January 1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe E31 uses two of these joints, and each one is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are signs of a worn ball joint?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClanking or banging from under the car and excessive vibration are common signs, and lack of lubrication is a frequent cause of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the fitment table below to confirm year, model, submodel, and application notes before ordering.
